Tony kills it with Crim...

Trust me, I looked at every flavor of mathematics to see if I could somehow imagine a way to make it happen.
I'm not sure TB is an appropriate comparison group for this: Somehow this seems like "damning with faint praise."
Here's an excerpt from an interview with Julie from about ten years ago:
Has Tony Levin seen you perform his basslines?
Yeah, Tony saw us play a couple of times in Russia and in Quebec City. The first time he saw me, he said “Man, I wish I could play that fast.” [laughs] That was really nice. I’m not trying to toot my own horn, but during a radio interview in Moscow on that tour, after he had seen me perform, the interviewer asked him “Are there any young bassists we should be watching for?” His response was that I was his current favorite bass player and that Adrian is really lucky to have me in the band. I think that’s the best thing anyone has ever said about me. Having that come from Tony Levin is phenomenal.
Anyway, back to KC: I saw the then-new 3-drummer lineup a few years ago on their first US tour, and it blew my mind. We saw them on consecutive nights in the same venue, which was totally cool because I processed the second night very differently from the first: loved both, but felt like I "understood" it the second night in a very different way than the first.Yeah, Tony saw us play a couple of times in Russia and in Quebec City.
