nah dude, bill stewart is amazing, taking the tradition and just pushing it forward. Everything he plays has so much pocket and feeling, he swings his ass off and he has totally innovated within the traidition. He's a great just like tony or elvin or anyone else.
Touch and tone... touch and tone... Bill is a perfect blend between the funkiness and tone of Idris Muhammad, the surprisiveness of Bob Moses and the virtuosity of Jack DeJohnette.
Extraordinary tecnique and taste. More, he plays in matched grip, really unusual for a jazz drummer. In my opinion he is one of the three best jazz drummers in the world. The other two are Peter Erskine and Al Foster. But I don't know if Morello and Bellson are still alive...!
No, Jazz isn't in trouble. There used to be a Jazz Club on every street corner. Jazz musicians were on prime time TV every day. There were 100 Big Bands touring. You could make a decent living playing only Jazz if you wanted. Jazzers wore suits and behaved like civilized people. Every major city in the US had several Jazz radio stations. Jazz records outsold everything else. This is when our country cared about talent and good music, not money. No, Jazz isn't in trouble at all . . . . .
duh...just duh check out maceo parker's mo roots album w/ him. The dude has killin' funk grooves that bozzio and peart dream of while they're sleepin'.
yes thanks ,This is where these comments totally fall off the track ,If we all played /sounded ,alike ;the world of clones what have yu.=THIS IS WHAT MAKES MUSIC/JAZZ...This is negation ,judging etc .
@rrdrums110 Let me tell ya something... I'm a jazz drummer and fan myself. and as a drummer that listens to jazz... and when i say jazz i mean from 1940 to 2011. i think you're holding too tight on the tradition... let the jazz flow... jazz has always been changing since the 30's. and those names you mentioned... they were pioneers that had something new to say about drumming. all i say is, without inovation, this style wouldnt have existed at all. let it swing man.
hehe..."dirty old man"...that's kinda funny. but you have no idea who that is. steve swallow is the effin' man. he's recorded with EVERYONE...jim hall, art farmer, paul bley, scofield, tom harrell, joe lovano,...just to name a few.
bill stewart is a good drummer, whether or not he plays your definition of "jazz." he isn't my personal favorite, I like people like brian blade, kendrick scott, tony williams, jack dejohnette, ari hoenig, jeff ballard, gregory hutchinson, roy haynes, jeff hamilton, elvin jones, buddy rich, and all the others. but jazz changes; you can't put rules on what "jazz" is.
I agree. Early Tony was a real force, real innovation. Never really cared for Stewart. If he is considered the new generatrion of legit Jazz drummers, than Jazz is in big fucking trouble. Really, it already is. Almost every single one of the truly great Jazz Drumming Legends are either dead or way past their prime (Morello). Sad, really - such a great Art form like Jazz Drumming all but gone the way of the dinosaur ~
He's not a drummer, he's a fine musician who happens to play drums. So damn musical!

amazing drumming and also my hat comes off to the steady time of the bass player throughout all that!!!
Touch and tone... touch and tone... Bill is a perfect blend between the funkiness and tone of Idris Muhammad, the surprisiveness of Bob Moses and the virtuosity of Jack DeJohnette.
A perfect musical example of metric modulation by Bill Stewart. He and Steve Swallow are locked in that groove!
bill stewart the best...great solo great sound great drummer great song...
This is Art.
The bass player, just saw Saint Peter opening the door that leeks eternal bliss.
Killer drumming!! LOVE IT!!
Baterista de exquisito gusto musical y sensibilidad suprema.
Maestro de la sutileza sonora.
every single one of his limbs groove at the same time. Its so awesome
I just love the freak on the bass. Awesome.
never knew opie could play drums. He's good!
jajjajaaj just amazing bill, as always.
Extraordinary tecnique and taste.
More, he plays in matched grip, really unusual for a jazz drummer.

Very musical - I'll take this approach to soloing any day over blowing pure chops like many of the young cats do.
Geeee...this guy is a a genius...
I’m really surprised that Pat
Metheny never really hired
B.Stewart the way that Schofield did!! Great original
drummer & musician!!
Ce solo est extraordinaire

There really only one Bill Stewart... a unique voice, more so than any other living drummer in my opinion.
bill i like you so much... you're so gr8....
duh...just duh
check out maceo parker's mo roots album w/ him. The dude has killin' funk grooves that bozzio and peart dream of while they're sleepin'.
if i could do that on the drums i'd be so tight, jazz drumming is like chiinese to me.
Cameras on stage should be outlawed in every nation.
what is the name of the song????that's most tasteful solo i ever heard!
yes thanks ,This is where these comments totally fall off the track ,If we all played /sounded ,alike ;the world of clones what have yu.=THIS IS WHAT MAKES MUSIC/JAZZ...This is negation ,judging etc .
the description aptly describes this video.
One of my favorite drummers ever - LOVE his playing. Is that a backline kit, or is he playing Pearl drums now?
Is that Fish from Barney Miller on bass?
