@CliftonMcCallMusic Ya I don't hear what you mean, sounds fine to me, like the drummer is only changing gears if you know what i mean. Some the stuff flip plays is kinda wierd, but most of it was fine. Some spots did make me go huh? but I'm just writing it off as hes old man!
@hincapiej4 nah he's clearly rushing. Listen to how early he finishes the phrase at 6:45. There was still like half a beat left and he was already into the bridge. 6:52 he's even more ahead of the beat. Then at about 7:00 he starts the next chorus so early the drummer comes in with the rim knocks. He's nowhere near behind the beat tho.
@CliftonMcCallMusic Actually, he's playing behind the tempo.. some people play ahead of beat, on the beat or behind. This is a player who is into the behind the beat type of playing.. sorta like Hank Mobley...but make no mistake about it.. he's killin it. The reason the drummer was doing rim shots...was to give it that extra feel of swing.. and it was def swingin both redman and flip were killin it.
@saxamasta He's horribly out of tempo. That's the main problem. If you notice, at about 7:00, the drummer has to start rim knocking on 2 and 4 to bring him back. That and his ideas really didn't rival that of Hargrove, Redman, or Moody.
No matter how much experience flip has, he cannot possibly keep up with these cats. I'm sorry down to my personal opinion flip just wasn't on point like James Carter, Redman or Hargrove and they haven't been in the industry for as long. You need to have innate swing to play bebop, Flip just hasn't got, still a very good saxophonist though, but he can't bop.
