Great performance by Jeff. I have to take exception to @audioonly1, though. Although Krupa had a great feel and swing, his technique was not nearly as developed as Jeff's. I sure agree about the Slingerlands vs. the Remos.
Oh man - This is SO good. I would like to say that Mr Hamilton brings to life everything I love about jazz. He plays that solo and then respectful acknowledges Krupa at the end. He is a TRUE MASTER!!!
This is the first and only drummer that i've ever heard that played the melody of this song on the drums. It sounds like a whole band is playing but he is getting the same sound out of the drums and a small basic kit at that. Gene was great at this song but even he didn't get all the melody parts and all the nuances and complex patterns.

@sweetfly66 Is right, "speed",,,"volume". It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.

Gene would have played it better and his Slingerlands would have blown away that Crap Remo drum sound

Everytime I listen to Hamilton I get the urge to strip my kit down to a 4-piece. Guy is absolutely amazing.
