I think it's a must-listen, but not a must-love. Haynes does all his comping on the snare. I don't know if Chick instructed him to play that way or if it was his creative choice, but it wears thin on me.Andrew<3'sVinnie wrote: "Now He sings, Now He Sobs" - 'nough said. A must-listen-to for any cat.

Band geeks unite: Late Show with David Letterman is kicking off its first ever “Drum Solo Week.”
by Megan Masters
The late-night staple is dedicating a week’s worth of episodes to performances by some of the music industry’s top percussionists, starting with a standout solo on Monday, June 6 from the Late Show‘s very own Anton Fig, the drummer in Paul Shaffer’s band.
The following night, Letterman welcomes Sheila E. and her world renowned skill with the sticks.
On Wednesday, June 8, drum legend Roy Haynes takes the stage, boasting a career filled with Miles Davis and Sarah Vaughn collaborations (to name a few). And rounding out the week is a performance by Rush’s Neil Peart, a drummer who is often regarded as one of rock music’s greatest.
In addition to a week filled with extra musical guests, Letterman will gab with Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights, J.J. Abrams’ Super 8), Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother, Tony Awards host), Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men), and more TV types.
The Late Show‘s “Drum Solo Week” debuts Monday, June 6 at 11:35/10:35c on CBS.
This. I like the musicality of how his snare/bassdrum comping ties in with the piano and bass. I'll take that over mechanical perfection anyday. And if it's good enough for Chick...gretsch-o-rama wrote:He really brings out the syncopation and doesn't sound like he's playing smooth jazz...
You'll be able to download the individual episodes on www.piratebay.org probably...that's where I normally download the Letterman Show.JohnDrum wrote:
