Jonathan Blake is a great drummer and a modest person. Just a few have ears big enough as his. It is a pleasure watching him comping for other musicians.

I saw Kenny Barron at the regatta jazz bar in Cambridge - is it? - so it was cool to hear Johnathan's stories here. I heard Johnathan recently virtually at Small's and am kind of hooked. I appreciate all the creativity and all the sounds he generates, and he looks like such a nice dude too.
