Jazz drummers were the first metal drummers... no question!

[mdanja]

@aqualungbeaniegod41 Yes!  You are absolutely right on.

They're trying to explore and test the boundaries of group improvisation within a strong rhythmic but vague harmonic context.

Often, music like this has a "form" (like a skeleton) so that everybody in the group know where they are.

The most challenging part in playing this genre is to not lose the form in your mind.

If done correctly, and the band is inspired, playing music like this is better than sex.

I'm not kidding.

what a pointless comment

[boulevard251]

a stage full of jazz Hall of Famers, back in the day jazz, is still the best jazz.

@kevcas76 Uhhhh, you're forgetting the master: Clifford Brown.

@Cinct i agree its good but....i wouldn't agree its better than sex to be honest hehe :)

@Cinct so true, this music is insane, at 1:15 where miles' and Herbie's lines combine and then make a complete move in the music and the whole band follows. That is what jazz is all about,I think the reason Miles was so succesful is because his rhythm section was so together.
