One of the greats!!
all the best...
for sure great player!
One of my favorites ... always had a smile when he played ... he sure loved to play ...
Drummers who don't listen to jazz are like guitarists who don't listen to jimi...maybe you don't need to, maybe there's nothing there that will help you do the music you want to do, but probably there is...
About the "listen to jazz thing" but on a different note(ugh!), my mentor grew up playing big bands' music and just can't lay down a decent rock groove (and doesn't like all jazz!)

I find a lot of genre specific musicians have difficulty outside their zone. There are accomplished classical players that can't improvise even a simple country solo without sheet music.
all the best...
