DRUM EVIDENCE!!!

Someone recently remarked to me that despite the dire circumstances that our planet currently faces, great and creative things were bound to emerge. I fully agree with this statement and any quick survey of any social media platform will instantly reveal many talented artists putting their creativity to good work these days.

Kendrick Scott deserves a medal for coordinating and producing this incredible compilation of 39 contemporary jazz drummers (!) all playing over Thelonious Monk's Evidence.

In a way, I feel this is like the 2020 jazz drumming version of the NBA/NHL All-Star games!
