Rormc, Finally! I get to see one of the Gene Lake Five Elements groups in concert. Thanks much! It would have been really cool if the video technicians would have shown the Lake drum solo. Oh well, its better than nothing. Awesome vid post. Thanks!
Actually, you know what? I just marvel over Milne's piano work. I had to forward this to my pops who is an accomplished classical pianist. He's so amazing that he can listen and see fingers and feet at work, but Steve's music is a bit different. It could be described as "revolutionary" music, so I am eagerly awaiting his review. Anyway, I could sit here at watch Andy's 3+ minute improv! It's just so incredible! Thank you SO much for this video. I need to shoot off an email to Steve about this.:)
from minutę 3:43 to 4:37 the camera guy didn't notice that Gene Lake was doing some amazing injuries to the drums like any other. Later on from 4:45 until 5:29 unfortunaley the camera guy didn't care at all that all the action was on Gene and not on Steve's fingers. Amazing drummer!
Underrated drummer! My favorite by sure!

GURU on Sax!!
thanks, I had to go through some trouble to get this material from the archives ;)
and yes the director was sleeping at the drumsolo.... too bad...
So to those of you that I'm stuck on 70's music....please either play or transcribe this set of music. If you can't then get off my back.
Very exciting group.
Certainly not smooth jazz or free jazz
Takes repeated listening for appreciation. Brilliant drummer.
Yeahhhh
Rad!!
the drummers taking this amazing sol and we're watching coleman? was the film crew awake?
Couldn't agree more.
