This video is a great look into the life of drummer Billy Martin (Medeski Martin and Wood, John Zorn, et al). I love the video because besides having a very loose natural sound, he really channels the greatest qualities of music and culture from all over the world. I also like the notation methods he borrows from ancient traditions ( x.x.xx.x.xx.xx..). Very Simple, yet deep!
