Very underrated I would say.

Awesome stuff; thanks, Niki.

Here's some unreal footage capturing Monk so well. Love it when he dances. And Ben Riley is another perhaps underrated gem who is still doing it on tour.

And Ben's beautiful brushwork:

I've only heard his work with Weather Report. never saw him play. This was great. Man he DOES use big sticks. I read somewhere that he did. Looks like 2Bs.

I hear that 'Tony' vibe in there. Really nice stuff. At first listen he didn't seem to repeat his licks once. Just kept building it. Wonderful language.
