i feel the same way about jazzguitar

+1 for almost all the above albums,especially the Jim Hall/Bill Evans (& Hall's duets with Ron Carter)
that said Jimmy Cobb's ride cymbal on 'So What' still kills me - he thought at the time he'd over hit it.

As we know from Clockwork Orange, sometimes the only cure for a problem is overexposure.

Darn, Sam beat me to the Chet Baker quote!!!!

He mentioned Sonny had a son who played too, and I guess this is him. Total monster!

Back when drum kits were real drum kits, no ride cymbals here m8

I’m afraid you’re outnumbered Max.
Even A/C’s are getting into the act...

I have no doubt I’m outnumbered; fortunately the videos posted here don’t autoplay, so I haven’t had to hear any of the drum stuff.
Back in the ‘90s, I got a call from a local jazz drummer I only knew by name - he had got my number from a mutual colleague. He asked me to play a trio gig with him along with an acoustic bassist. He told me it was a small venue (a golf course clubhouse) and asked me to bring a small amp. We would play whatever standards I knew.
I arrived at the gig about an hour out, and was mildly curious that the drummer was not there yet - you know usually they have the most stuff to set up. So I asked where the band should set up and plugged in my little amp, careful to leave room for the drum set and acoustic bass.
The leader showed up, carrying a snare drum in a gig bag, a snare stand and a stick bag. After exchanging greetings, I asked him if I could help him bring his gear in. He smiled and said no thanks, grabbed a regular chair from the floor, set up his snare stand, pulled out a wooden Ludwig snare drum, a set of brushes, and then started chatting about tunes we might do. At some point I realized he was ready to go - no bass drum, no cymbals, no toms.
We played three sets of standards; The guy was swinging, tasteful and interactive with just the drum (he played with the snares off a lot of the time) and the brushes. It was one of the most enjoyable jazz gigs I had ever played, we all had a great time and it went over well with the crowd.
I played with that guy every chance I could get. In other contexts - jazz clubs, outdoor gigs - of course he used a full set, but for that small clubhouse the guitar, acoustic bass, snare drum combo was just perfect.

Sassy - no cymbals.
Joe Pass sits this one out too.
