Dan Gould Posted January 25, 2022 Report Posted January 25, 2022 As some of you may have noticed, been hearing a lot of the Oliver Jackson Trio featuring Percy France, and I wanted to highlight how musical a drummer I think OJ was. Now I love me some Blakey, make no mistake, but Oliver Jackson had a real gift for using the whole kit, always driving the band but maybe with a wider range of sounds and accents? I wish I could describe it better but to me its just summed up in the word musical. Whose with me? Any other especially musical drummers you adore? Quote

I love his work with Monk, that´s were I really can hear him. I heard Ron Carters Quartet of 1979 with Kenny Barron, Buster Williams as second bass, and Ben Riley, so I can say I heard the trio under the leadership of Ron. Very fine. And he is on the Electra Musician album "Sphere" from 1982, were they play with Charlie Rouse. But as it happens on studio albums, you hear the bass louder than the drums, so I don´t hear every aspect of what Riley does on it, since in studio he seems to have been underrecorded..... Quote
