Exhibit #1: Why drum solos suck.
This is a tune being played by my favorite, and currently the best Jazz Band playing.. Outstanding playing throughout. Even the drum solo is better than most.
I love the way all the band members soloed in rotation. Even the bass solo was good. The Bass is usually as much of an intrusion as the drums when soloing.
I did notice that when the drummer (Ali Jackson!!) is playing his solo, the rest of band stops playing. Maybe that's the problem.
