It's very sad to me that there are not FAR more people looking at the videos of and commenting on this superb Master Jazz drummer, Mel Lewis.

@rtweber37 Your incredibly wrong, this musician never loses the timing or slows down. The drummer is the most importan player in a jazz band, so keeping the timing is prior 1, build a groove upon that beat is prior 2, to color the piece with acords, melody and such is prior 3.
Don't get fooled by bad old recordings, the timing was at least as good than as any drummer to day if not better.

@MrJoetrix uhhh no, it's called an old recording
-
@rtweber37 He was doing that on purpose, playing within separate rhythms while keeping count of the band's beat. It becomes subconscious after enough jazz.

This is great clip - the one thing I LOVE about these old jazz drummers is that (and I don't mean this in a negative way) is that they were so loose that at times it sounds a little sloppy BUT that is what makes jazz such incredible music - no quantizing and trying to be perfect - just throwing it down.

Those cymbals are DRYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! -
Listen to the the recording Consummation. Mel produces the finest snare drum sound ever.
-
big band driving it self not a drummer.
-
This is unique cymbal work
-
Great drummer--always swinging, staying loose and driving the big band at the same time. What a talent!
