It's ab-fab to hear a drummer who can play ON TOP of the kit! This group is pretty goddamned good, too, even the bassist who, to me, is doing his own thing and not trying to be Jaco.

Hey folks! It's veery good!

Thanks, Saxman, for acknowledging my initial comment. Your drummer here is so boss, I've had to come back to this video several times now. As a unit, you've all the right ingredients to take it up several notches.

I knew Jaco personally in Ft. Laud., played bass with many of the same folks he did locally and somewhat beyond. Of course he went all the way, similar to Ray Milland's character in "X - the Man with the X-ray Eyes." Another story well documented in Bill Milkowski's book.
