Great to see him still playing Kevin
I saw Gary Bartz last night in Rotterdam. Though some of the songs were a bit to smooth to my tastes and I didn’t enjoy the female singer, I am happy I managed to see him.
I only now realize that Catalysts Perception isn’t part of these series but is coming out in the excellent Jazz Dispensary series by Craft. So apparently the Muse catalogue is open to more parties. Great news
I just checked my collection where he plays and just a few examples:
Alice Coltranes Universal Consciousness
Anouar Brahems Blue Maqams
Freddie Hubbards First Light
Jackie McLeans Demons Dance
Joe Hendersons Power to the People
Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew
Paul Desmond’s Skylark
plus many more but his ability to shine one these very different kind of records in such a great way says a lot about his qualities as a drummer
I dig his work as a sideman. Mostly hear McCoy Tyner influence. I played this solo album once and it didn’t do a lot for me but perhaps I should give it another try
