Brian Blade



One of my favorite players. How many cats have this kind of feel? Any volume, any tempo, the guy is a master. If the mellowish intro. is too mellow for you, fwd. to around 2:20. But, better to watch the whole thing if you ask me.

I totally agree and cannot keep giving Brian Blade enough praise. He's been one of my main inspirations for 13 years with no end in sight!
I'd put Eric Harland about on the same level as Brian as far as musicality, inventiveness, individualty and depth are concerned!
Cheers from Holland,
Yonga Sun

JB, I got this message on me bloggy and thought of you!
sorry to hijack your thread but I just got a call from Cardiff Patagonia and they have some new wetsuits in stock in the larger sizes - I know some poeple have been trying to find them and you are the unofficial Patagonia Ambassador. Give them a call quick, they had just a few.

WJ, I emailed you. I really appreciate the word and I'm calling ASAP.

Alan, good to hear from you again.

Yonga, thanks for checking in all the way from Holland. And yes, I agree with you, Eric Harland is amazing.
