Tim doesn't get a lot of credit for sticking his neck out. Listen to some of the crazy stuff he does with Rudder on the album. It is hard to describe. Chainsaw sweet? I think pretty much anything goes in acid jazz.

One of the things that amazes me about Tim's playing is his ability to play with drummers (like Carlock, like Guiliana, like Nate Wood, etc.) that are constantly turning over the beat. He's able to keep his cool, keep his place, and actually interact with them in ways that not many bass players can (musicians in general for that matter).

I wonder if anyone who feels that they have a handle on this sort of thing would have any thoughts on how you go about practicing to get better at this. My sense is that he's just played night-in-night-out with so many fine drummers that he's sort of just picked it up on the job. But if there are any practice room secrets that I don't know about, I'd sure love to get hip to them.

I think it's about having a really developed sense of time of your own, but with the ability to go where ever the band might be heading if you choose to. It's something that shows a lot of musicianship and integrity as a person.

FWIW, I liked the 1st one...like the Headhunters meet Joe Zawinul.

I'd never even heard of Tim until just yesterday, sitting in the dentist's office, I picked up the New York Times Arts section and read a review of a gig by some saxophonist (who I'd also never heard of). Tim was listed as the bass player...and if ever a NYT review made me want to check out an artist, this was it!

Picked up Jeff Babko's Crux album the other day, some great Lefebvre playing on it.
