Why have I never heard of this drummer before? He's a true master!

Very nice John. Swingin' me into bad health

James Evans may be one of the best jazz clarinetists alive, a real musical genius. Certainly Paulo as well on the piano! And John, swinging like always with one of the best feels of drummers today that I have heard.

A truly excellant Grade A tribute.
