Yes sir, This is one of my altime favorite jazz cut Jazz Crimes by Joshua Redmen with Brian Blade on the set.. I have it as my myspace song.. I kill the album.. Man I play this clip at least once a week.  Brian is the man, period.. Stay Blessed, Nate J.

I forgot about my man Brian.  I got hip to him by listening to the REAL Kenny G (Kenny Garrett).  He's nice.  You can hear the Tony Williams coming out in him on this clip.  If you want J-Kay I can send you some of the stuff from Kenny's John Coltrane tribute album that has him on it.  Hit me up by pm if you want it.
