  • @cccustard john coltrane would disagree. but yeah you're probably right, i mean it's just coltrane, what the fuck did he know?

  • This song is amazing! I love the sweet grooves in the intro. I've been listening to modern funk for so long....now I find myself captivated by this sublime swing.

  • @cccustard Your suggestion of Mitch Mitchell as a "proper" alternative to the "numskullery" of Elvin Jones is a little tenuous, considering how Mitch Mitchell cited Elvin Jones as one of his biggest influences. The resemblance between the two is pretty hard miss....

  • @cccustard ?????

  • stop feeding the custard troll and focus on the good sounds of this song :D

  • @cccustard Elvin is one of the great masters of the instrument. He and Coltrane were magical together. Why don't you comment on this particular piece, where Elvin's playing is obviously sublime, rather than being a hater.

  • @cccustard Um, yeah, I've heard Blakey and sorry, Elvin was a GREAT drummer, Art was, too. You're speaking from ignorance. 

  • @ZackPomerleau

    I agree. It's not that he couldn't play the drums, it's just that he couldn't play them properly. I'm just listening to My Favourite Things, Stockholm '61. It's so bad it's embarrassing. Here are some drums, bash them as hard as you can in any order and pay no attention to anything else that is going on. Really horrible. Please listen to a lot of Blakey and then come back to me.

    Listen to In a Sentimental Mood by Ellington & Coltrane - one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever, and Jones drumming like a numskull. As usual. (Was he even listening to Ellington & Coltrane??) These guys need sympathetic., understanding drumming, not incoherent bashing like Ginger Baker. Watch some Art Blakey. Or if you prefer rock - Mitch Mitchell.
