Chick Corea Quartet 1996 Leipzig Germany ( Gary Novak Drum Solo )

[@jakubrojek3652]

Killer quartet...arguably the best group Corea had and their Time Warp was so underrated and still no one has recorded anything like it till now. The sheer eclecticism and creativity of writing could easily eclipse anything written since.

Great solos by everyone, but Gary's is spectacular- it sits so well in the piece and it leaves one wondering how he does it! If I recall, the scene was, at this time, still very much dominated by Colaiuta, Weckl and Chambers, and whilst there were some 'clones' or these players (dare I say Cliff Almond- a the time- a bit of a Weckl clone!) Gary had his own voice and was definitely 'up there' with those contemporary greats.

My thoughts exactly, I'd love to have seen him hitting more mainstream recordings and more videos of him, his technical ability was insane and yet he opted to go with the wide open bass drum on the Paint the World album and not be a clone, I was always in awe of him, just that one album made me rate him as top 5 at the time.

absolutely - Gary is my No.1 - much better than Weckl, Gary has that unbelievable natural flow that cannot be taught
