Jack DeJohnette R.I.P.

Wow. Wasn't expecting this. This is a major loss for the Jazz community. 

I only saw him once in person with D. Holland and J. Abercrombie but he's been one of my favorite drummers for decades. He and his long-time buddy/fellow Miles band alumnus D. Holland were quite a dynamic duo.  Hard to pick favorites. So much great work on ECM.  The trio with Holland and Geri Allen (forget the title) also comes to mind. 

What a monster of a player!

Every time I read some music magazine's list of "best drummers", I have to laugh at the usual, cliche choices, when guys like DeJohnette exist, or have existed, 

Zebra good.

I just saw this on Presto which prompted me here. I really liked him with New Directions. Also, the album 'Inside Out' with K Jarret and G Peacock.

One of my favorites.  He didn't think of himself as a drummer, but as a musician and that shows in his drumming.
