Breathtaking musicality. If you listen to Tristano's prhasing, you'll know how bloody hard this is to do.

What's even more ridiculous is that it looks like he's memorised it!!

A perfect example of out of box intelligence not directly measured in
the school system! He made a context for that inner voice to combat
the drummer's tapping that annoys most people, especially in a business
or staff meeting. This is a guy I'd like to hang with...
--as a kid, he nailed the beat of the washing machine, external noises
most ignore, the repeating pattern of the car on road trips, birds
outside chirping, jackhammer on the construction site.

Very impressive. Not just the playing. Quite a bit of work to memorize that whole thing.
The auction thing is hilarious. Reminds me of this old classic.

Why? Are you being serious Avi? Well in the same way that you took the time to trawl Google images for your hilarious and facetious comment, Dan took the time to study Tristanos lines just as guitarists study Metheny or Charlie Christian or saxophonists study Parer and Brecker. Why? Because he hears something in Tristanos phrasing which he sought to study, transcribe and work at in order to give himself a looseness and freedom in his phrasing on the drums.
This diligence and attention to detail has resulted in Dan touring the world and playing with such respected jazz greats as David Binney, Lee Konitz, Miguel Zenon and Kenny Werner , recording hundreds of albums both as a band leader in his own right and as an in demand sideman.
Out of interest if this had been Vinnie, Brian Blade or *insert your favourite drummer* posting clips like this, would you have posted the same pic?
