I love driving drummers, where the energy of that instrument propels and carries the song forward - the sense then is that all the rest of musical content is madly trying to keep up; it creates an urgency and vibrancy to the listening which I find captivating ... this is one of the better examples I know of, but will probably require well sorted audio to reveal,

Erik Charlston - JazzBrasil - Essentially Hermeto
"“I’ve always loved Hermeto’s music: its energy, absolute originality, audacity and beauty. Oh yes, and it grooves like mad. Hermeto’s music, like that of other great composers, benefits from interpretation, and although it will sound different in new contexts, it will always be undeniably his music. The challenge of putting a group together to interpret it became irresistible,” says Charlston. "

Taj Mahal, he's a Bluesman, like Frank Zappa.

You're very big on Carla Ray. ...and on Frank too, right? ...Avant-garde Jazz and progressive Rock.
I got more Zappa albums than Bley ones. Charlie Haden, yes, more still.

When I'm learning new material, I like to listen to a few different arrangements, then stop listening, sit down and play without referencing the recordings any more. It helps me get to my own interpretation of a song instead of just mimicking an existing recording. Recently, I was learning the R&B classic, I Put A Spell On You. I listened to the one most people know, from CCR, a beautiful arrangement on an Annie Lennox album, then I ran across this...
