Double Bass Dave Holland with Herbie Hancock Trio...

Tbeers said:
A drummer who graduated from my high school a few years ago named Richie Barshay tours with Herbie (actually he is on tour with him now through May 31, but I guess it's in Europe).

Richie Barshay is my favorite drummer! We did a trio recording last summer that hasn't come out yet. He's a very bad dude, and will be famous someday.
I'm trying to get him to convince Herbie to get rid of that Scott Colley fellow so I can play in the trio with them... ;)

No kidding!
Yeah, he's one of a few people from my school to "make it big" in jazz. Probably the most well-known so far is Brad Mehldau, Joel Frahm too although not many ppl know him. Richie is a really nice guy, it's cool to see someone here who's met him.
 
People will find about Joel Frahm, too, if they haven't had the pleasure of doing so yet. During my brief time in NYC, he was known among the younger guys as a real favorite.

For a chance to hear both Joel Frahm in top form AND one of the bassists we'll all be talking about some day, John Sullivan (currently Roy Haynes' bass player, former ISB Jazz Competition winner), check out drummer Pete Zimmer's CD "Common Man" (www.tippinrecords.com). It's a nice recording, and John's playing has hopelessly raised the bar for arco soloing in jazz (and he uses Spirocores, no less!)...
