I Saw Branford Marsalis last week and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Jeff “Tain” Watts is becoming one of the greatest drummers of all time in my opinion. I can’t think of another jazz drummer that has the groove, swing, and soloing vocabulary that he does. Branfords CD Contemporary Jazz has been spinning non-stop in my car for weeks. Unbelievable ensemble playing from this band, creating music and communicating in ways only elite musicians can. It’s pretty amazing.
Also thanks to Derek Defields for pointing out on our forums this review of Dennis Chambers’ solo CD. There’s other stuff worth mentioning on the forums too but don’t take my word for it, see for yourself.
Jeff Tain Watts is a bad ass. New Chambers CD.
