I'm shocked by how good this sounds.

Come on Greg, play some Jazz !!!

I thought this was a joke at first but that's really why I'd never commit to being a bebop drummer...they sound impaired when they play anything other than Jazz time....

I say this 'cause I was looking to hear the tone of the cymbals when playing Jazz's beat, Greg can play whatever he wants, he's a great musicians.

Wow. It's really apparent that the only thing that separates one great jazz musician from another is differences in tone. The licks are all the same.

Please elaborate further.

Hardly. But you could say that about drummers from any other genre. What you are calling jazz "licks" are more accurately described as jazz "vocabulary". Someone like Greg will reference (or quote) historical phrases from time to time.

Like Steve Gadd says, we're all in this together. I think that's his way of saying, "I didn't come up with anything that great, I was just "replaying" my own version of what I heard before me." Which is really true. It's more difficult to be original today. I'm not taking away from the fact the Redman and his band actually do "hear" what they play...it's just that they heard it somewhere else before. That's alright. That's how it works. And I'm not saying they are trying to steal credit for it(although one could argue that with Jazz traditionalists). It's just that tone seems to be a bigger factor with Jazz musicians today than coming up with new "vocabulary"...
