This performance to me isn't just three musicians making it up as they go along in an improv jam session as is so common in some venues. The hard work they put in is evident in the way this piece was written, rehearsed, and performed - even beyond the obvious technical skills displayed. This is one fine piece of jazz, and a joy to watch and listen. Thank you for posting.

BAZ INGA Fact. Philips does more in a few meters than Peart’s entire career. It’s plainly obvious to listeners who know percussion, know music, are not deaf. Don’t get me wrong, Peart’s technically the best in the rock world, but it’d be a cold day in hell if Peart could play on this level. So obvious.
