Man I love that guys playing.
He's in second in my top "list" (no one is above Brian Blade to me haha).
Anyways, I think his playing really shines with Robert Glasper.
Here is a great concert I watched the other day:

Mind = blown.
Thanks for the heads up.
I found Daru Jones the other week, you might like him too.

Man I could listen to this all day long, Chris Dave is amazing.
He's crazy good. And he's doing something completely different with the drums. Reminds me of when the early rappers started scratching turntables, doing something with them that they were never intended to be used for. That's how Chris Dave approaches the drums.
But yeah, his jazz stuff with Glasper is fantastic, too. Reminds me a little of Roy's work with Chick and on ECM.
