Thank you guys for this moment sharing about Tony Who became my hero as soon as I heard him play on "Believe It " album and so much others. And that's also really moving and nice to see you all who each of you as drummers influenced me. Thank you Peter,(first heard you on Pinocchio) Alex( on Heavy Weather album), Lenny (No Mystery - I loved SophistiFunk) and special motion to Eric Gravatt for his absolutely brilliant drumming on "I sing the body Electric" album. I insist because for me ERic Gravatt is really an underrated one. THKS A LOT GUYS !!!
@jazztalk3482 omg! Thank you for replying. A sit down with him would be amazing! And maybe some stories from people who played with him. I just found your channel and am binging all the episodes. Random question, I am trying to find the paper 'enemy drums' that Mr. Joe Chambers spoke about, but I can't find it anywhere. Do you know what he was referencing? Thank you for your amazing work on the channel!
I saw Eric Gravatt with McCoy's big band, and his drumming was from out of this world. An incredible, mind-blowing drummer! Wow! And yes, the TW influence was there!!!!
Just found this channel. This discussion about Tony Williams, with you all, is very inspiring and enjoyable. I've recently started creating videos talking about the Tony Williams concept, with demonstrations. Always open to input or correction. Looking forward to enjoying this channel, what a find! Thank you. Cheers
