It feels like great forward momentum to me, if you play a lot of bebop, you gotta push to get that feeling, and yes it does sound like its rushing to the untrained ear. Even when learning to play like this it can be difficult to feel everything so far up on the beat, but better this than dragging - especially in bebop (i.e. faster than 250). GREAT SWING guys! Thanks for posting.
@marathonjazzman your saying everybody should play like nat king cole, but every highly skilled pianist wich fully knows what he's doin has is own style en that my friend is for you to like or not there is no right or wrong man!
hes playing super on top. I know hes doing it on purpose to drive the tune but it is a bit much for me. Ridiculous control though and undeniably swingin
