@EddieLandsberg One of the truest comments lately. Thumbs up. I have nothing against good education, but it should never be an end in itself. Early jazz guys most of the time didn't attend formal schools or did it only briefly. A lot of listening and observation as well as autodidactism was the norm. And even later Lafaro, Baker, Ward, Ponder, Hoffman etc. didn't attend/left music colleges and their arms didn't fall off ;)
BTW I like your videos a lot.

@muziquelle What class was this in?

despite the ilness he must have been suffering from, he still got the funky part of his brain working!

That's some funky ass shit!

This is what happens when you DON'T go to Berkelee and instead spend years getting your butt kicked on the road by tuff bandleaders and know that for every beat you play there are plenty of other drummers waiting in line for the job. Only the BADDEST survive, and Starks, Purdie and Stubblefield were the undisputed champs ! ! !
