Frogman, Is it me, or did Jaco decide not to lay back in support of Brecker, but to solo over Brecker's solo?
If you could explain why Max Roach's use of poly rhythms helped the soloist, from a soloist point of view, it may help explain why Roach was so important to Jazz, although he was important in other ways too.
I once saw Roach take 4 or 5 kids and teach them to play a simple pattern, each different, then he sat down and played the first pattern , and added the other patterns one by one until he was playing them all, those young drummers, and I learned a lot that day.
