Can anyone here recommend a "must have" Jarrett trio recording? I saw Still Live and Standards in Norway... However, if there is one or two that you feel is worth checking out, please let me know.

Did Freddie Gruber ever release a book on drumming techniques? I saw mention that he did, but couldn't confirm it.

Can anyone shed some light on the recording(s) that Steve did with this group?

I know Jeff Andrews did one record w/Steve and this band.

I was curious to know if this was in the jazz vein or something heavier.

I'll admit I don't have have the greatest ears when it comes to catching a certain thing that a drummer played on record at a certain time.

I agree, not everyone likes the same thing. But don't say that it didn't groove or the guy can't play. The groove may not...

I read a review last night of Weckl's Live and PLugged In cd from a guy who posted his "opinion" on Amazon. He said it was "boring" and just a chops fest. Weckl's playing "lacked groove" as he put it. Now, as far as I'm concerned, music (as in any other art form) is a m...
