Pat and Joe LaBarbera = the finest jazzzzz music has to offer. I've been listening to both LaBarbera brothers for many years now and they represent the height of creativity.
The person who says Joe LaBarbera is average must not have a very good understanding of Jazz.. Joe is an icon in jazz drumming. Check out his work with Bill Evans.
I can't believe that I am waisting time replying to your comment, but for the sake of musicianship: Jazz is not a sport competition nor a matter of who-is-better-than-who. Had you known the line of artists that Joe Labarbera worked with (not to mention that he himself is a great band leader), you would have thought twice before writing your absent-minded & non-musical comment. And by the way, Joe states Higgins as one of his incluences. Unfortunately he is under-rated.. cheers!
Real players don't make crass comparisons, they just respect each other for their many and varied attributes. Only wannabees try to make it a competition.

Actually Joe LaBarbera is an AMAZING drummer. Obviously you haven't heard enough of him to know that.

The drummer is so average. There are so many better drummers that blow this guy away.Billy higgens would destroy him even with one hand
