Wow. This is what people are taking as artistry? There's nothing he did that any of you couldn't do within a week! I've played professionally for thirty years and I can tell you that solo was a lot of hustling. No structure. No melody. No ideas relating to one another. Just a bunch of showy flailing. Anybody can do that in any meter. I'd like to see Mr. Kilson perform something more technical and thoughtful. Why do some drummers think that fast, unstructured and sweaty equals "jazz" or good. C+

I'm convinced there are not many (or maybe no) drummers that can do what he is doing.

There's several types of players outthere.

Technical can also mean boring, because it has no guts, no feel.

What Billy does is technically strong and has lots of feel. See Dave Holland smiling at him all the time.

Actions speak louder than words !

And haha, u wish you could play like that !

It sure ain't you sitting upthere,

because if you were able to,

you wouldn't even bother commenting...

i agree, i wish billy still laid it down with dave. but then again i did see them live with nate and that guy is nuts. adhd meets a drum set.... dave's band is for sure in the top two of my favorite big bands along with jaco pastorius big band. you all should check out billy's group BK Groove if you haven't already.

[Gman4MF]

Haha ! :-))

"ADHD meets a drumset"

THE DRUMMER...with THE BIG BAND. I wish Billy was still with Dave. I love Nate and all, but BIlly just is the drummer for this group

[Gman4MF]

Yeah,Billy is awesome.

Saw Dave Holland Quintet last NSJ2007 again, and i can understand why Nate Smith IS the drummer for Dave...

It was another "kicksass" performance of the highest quality jazz that is there 2day. For young AND old...

@Colorburned I'm not a fan of Kilson, but I have to admit that his style here works good

[fergman333]

I just saw the quintet two days ago, and all I gotta say is BRING BACK BILLY!

He just tore 34,078 people a new one. And that's not counting the people in the room with him at the time. Thanks, Billy K.
