Art Farmer & Pete La Roca



One of my all-time favorite drummers that is too often overlooked, Pete La Roca.  This a clip from the Jazz Icons series, which features some great footage of this band in Europe, featuring Jim Hall on guitar, and Steve Swallow on bass.


I have always loved Pete La Roca's swing feel.  It is forceful, but also has a lightness and groove to it.  In his soloing check out the timbre he gets from digging the stick into the drum and muting it (around the 2:00 mark).  The entire concert is on youtube so check out the rest of tunes!
