Comments about Tony Royster Jr's spot on Letterman:
Here's where the spang-a-lang comes in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF8JAYEGi4I#t=65s
I probably have cloth ears but I didn't notice anything off. A bit heavier for jazz than I'd have liked in spots but that's all.
Ben, with that "swung 16th hip-hop feel" are you saying that it's a bit straighter - less swung - like the half straight/half shuffle feel Ringo used to play at times?
Who here explores part-swung feels?
No sense of swing at all
He does have a sense of swing but it's that swung 16th hip-hop feel rather than a jazz swung 8th feel. It's actually very interesting to watch.
