Rakalam Bob Moses at the 2008 Chicago Drum Show

[@mohomoho1]

Drummers such as Bob Mosses, Milford Graves, Hamid Drake are true masters. They just aren't reconized by the mainstream masses.

I had the great pleasure of having Bob play on my 1st CD in 98 and the man was the essence of magnanimity and kindness. I believe his spiritual journey to be sincere. He is one of the few true originals . Plus he sure didn't make much so he worked for the shear love of music.

I'm having trouble finding words to describe this............

[@memzehni]

This solo kills me...marvelous...

[@russxdrums]

Beautiful

[@lpsling]

Bob Moses is a master of flow and subtlety...really a spiritual phenomonen in the leagues of jazz drum set players. I could listen to him just play like this for hours every day....his inner speech is beautiful.

[@dasglasperlenspiel10]

Good Heavens?? Bob Moses has finally grown up!!! Now THIS is beautiful drumming!!!

[@sonortubelug]

GREAT!!!!

[@danielkrawiec9859]

I saw him play with Pat Metheny about in Simsbury, CT about 37 years ago. Bob Moses. Anybody know what his concept with the short sticks is?

[@Superfro2]

Thanks for posting this! I love Bobs playing! Have you seen his video from Pasic 94.

[@freebird1969]

Awesome...textures and conversations...meditations....just sweet as can be....cherish those whose musical vocabulary transcends!

[@generatrix999]

@cutiebrutus Moses has been every form of cool there is when it comes to the drums He's playing music here, something very few drummers can do and then even fewer still can do it this well This a song from his soul, not just a bunch of licks he's practiced

[@loveisthelaw20042004]

Bob carves his own sticks. They do not match; he made a left and a right. RC

[@lpsling]

Moses seems to me to be one of the most brilliant drummers....alive and subtle, that ever was. How did he not become as known to the jazz public as he deserves to be? Oh well, most of my favorite players arent very famous either....just great. I can hear Moses speaking.

[@chauntzu]

Man, when you live in this musical space you have to be a recluse...it's the only way to remain sane and free from the mean spirited public and musical know it alls!!!

[@chauntzu]

Beautiful stream of conciousness playing!!! So many young players and arrogant jazzheads just don't get this! Very sad indeed!!! If you dig this, check out Han Bennink, Fritz Hauser and Pierre Fauvre.

[@libertatus]

For me, as a bass player, this is like blissfully listening to a gentle morning rain.

[@moogoogaipan]

Yeah, right.

[@dsleeperhold]

i think thats the stick he had the whole time. And a shakey thing. yeah he drops it at 4:36

[@331paradiddle]

His book Drum Wisdom is very revealing. I really think it is very good at helping the player understand what his role is in much improvised music. Many questions I have had for years were answered. Check it out

[@lynhorton1934]

Rakalam means the inaudible sound of the invisible sun. According to Moses himself.

Drum Wisdom

[@zildjian66]

mean smooth double stroke rolls. Beautiful sound, complex polyrythms, its really good. I don't think it flows very well from concept to concept however.

[@memzehni]

...once again: Bob Moses is un-be-lie-va-ble...!!

[@inaglasscage]

i heard he's completely lost his mind. great drummer though.
