These were the good old days. I saw this band every Friday night for maybe four years. We all were like a family, the band, the audience, even the staff at birdland. Brings back sweet memories.

[@Andythefunkman]

Tommy can play so tasty and simple. I love it.

[@k4n1023]

According to Tommy Igoe's definitions from his groove essentials, I believe he is playing a Soca and then a Songo. Some would interpret it slightly different and say that's a calypso groove instead of a soca. They both come from Trinidad, you can read more by searching "Soca Music", "Calypso Music", and the like on Wikipedia.

[@junulock]

Man this whole group is just rocking this song. Absolutely amazing.

[@paradiddle1]

Great performance--thanks for sharing this. I've seen the drum solo section elsewhere and it's nice to see it in its musical context!!
