^^^Back in the 80's I started taking alto sax lessons. The instructor asked me what my goal was, I said to play like Paul Desmond on "Blue Rondo a la Turk".

Man, there were a ton of great drummers from that period in jazz.
I'm primarily a fan of the hard bop era...early 50's to early 60's is my main area of concentration...with the likes of Miles, Mingus, Coltrane, Monk leading the way...and the many men who played alongside them...too many to mention, though Herbie Hancock stands out for his genius both as a pianist and composer.
