I dunno if i've ever heard such a lyrical drummer -- any thoughts? ¥

Maybe not classic, but close. Edged higher because of his contributions to the Schooolhouse Rock! songs.

Look for Jimmy Scott's last few records and Stan Getz's Sweet Rain.

You mean Jimmy Scott the conga player? And, yes, I've been looking for Sweet Rain for a few years now.

He's so tasteful it hurts, it makes me want to punch him in the face.

(that is a good thing)

I've read interviews where he says 'yeah, I don't solo, I'm not a technical drummer, I'm in awe of Roy Haynes and those guys' and all he does now is sing, but he pulls out some fucking classic fills and breaks on Quincy Jones 'Walking in Space' and on 'More Blues & the Abstract Truth'.

Jimmy Scott the singer.

Gotcha. I wouldn't think there'd be much room to work with the typical laid-back approach of Jimmy Scott albums.
