Re: Assorted videos / YouTube thread
Brother to Brother (both the album and the song) are very special to me. Easily one of my favorite records/songs of all time.

Re: Steve Smith
Nobody (including Steve Smith himself :D) speaks about his album with Dutch band Focus, but I love his drumming on it. I'm a big fan of SS in his early days, a way more creative, powerful and unpredictable, imo. [youtube_https:11aizpv7]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKUsbFdshk8[/youtube_https:11aiz...

Re: Mike Shapiro (RIP)
Sad news
A great drummer, he played samba with authenticity, sounding like a Brazilian. I recommend his albuns with Dori Caymmi, Gary Meek and others. I was lucky enough to watch him here in Rio de Janeiro, many years ago, in a concert with Kevyn Lettau.
