hey dancin spiderman, i see your point, regarding the drummer and his licks on the accents of the horns ... as a drummer, there is a method to his madness. it all stems back to the big band days of the Count, Duke, Glenn Miller and the likes. All the drummers accented with the horns. Later that same concept was continued by the great David Garibaldi -- listen to the classic Tower Of Power cuts and you'll see/feel my point. So lighten-up on Mr. Drummer here. He Awrite!!!
5:09 haha sounds like a New York City TV sitcom theme, sounds cool. Discuss amongst yerselves. (my right index finger making the coffee stirring motion)
Oh, BTW.... this group hits the stage at 9:15PM , The Mos Eisley Cantina this Saturday. Be there.
Also, labelled only as their Farewell Concert, 6PM on Sunday , Jabba The Hutt's Grotto. The venue is very unpredictable, as to the reason for the name Farewell Concert....
i went to jerry's site and he doesn't have a list of current projects he's working on. Sad to say, but the horn-spiced R&B is not a big of a seller in the US as it used to be. ANyone know what he's up to?
Beautiful song, but I wish the drummer would quit hitting the snare in unison with the horns -- the snare is lowering the percussive & tonal effectiveness of the horns when he does that. Drummer, just play a straight 4/4 pattern during the horn parts; don't overshadow the horns. Hitting the snare in unison with the 1st note of the horn licks also reduces the funkiness you are seeking to maintain in this song.
@grizzletoast I'm on some other topic entirely. I am sooOOOoo removed from this topic hahaha. I retire myself from these posts on this page.
But to address your concern, the way I'm hearing this track... the timbale is playing too loud. Vinnie on the drum kit is only slightly too loud, but he's within reason. The timbale player prolly needs to smoke a joint and mellow out a bit. only an opinion. The singer is pretty. I bet the album sounded a lot more blended and balanced. THE END.

to DancingSiderman. The horns and drum track were arranged so that they would hit together. It's not Vinnie, but the arrangement.

@drmbob1 yeah, OK drmbob. I hear you. The arranger & Vinnie worked out the style immediately before this vid took place.

@DancingSpiderman Your advice flies in the face of the entire history of drums playing with horns. Listen to Basie--that's what this is, really.
