Power trio with Vernon Reid (guitar) and Billy Sheehan (bass).

Would love to hear him in a cool ECM type setting. John Abercrombie, Terje Rypdal, Miroslav Vitous et al.

Tigran Hamasyan - beat boxing piano (and keys): ;

Trilok Gurtu - percussion;

Dhafer Youssef - oud and vox;

Jimmy Johnson on a few tracks;

Allan Holdsworth on two tracks.

Just a whole album of this band doing this kind of music

I'd like to hear modern versions of the Shut Up n Play Yer Guitar series w/ Zappa....never liked the actual drum sound all that much
but the playing stands as some of my all time fav...crazy good drumming. These days I dont hear Vinnie do a lot of the things he was going for on those tracks
