Thanks for sharing, Drumminchick. Definitely will check out some of his other stuff. Did you study with him?

I did. For over a decade. This guy has an amazing mind and can do things with time and syncopation I've not seen often in my life. He is just a deep thinker... has a lot of original ideas and grooves. And an all around good guy.
His album Time's Up is killer. Seriously.
