**** I knew personally, professional musicians who played "Hard-Bop", and they would have laughed at you, coming up with this African crap. Like they were playing it but didn’t even know it. ****
Total bs. There probably isn’t or wasn’t one single “professional” bop musician that doesn’t acknowledge that the basis for jazz rhythms, the underlying influence (and that’s the concept that you guys don’t seem to be able to grasp) is African rhythms; the unique feeling of swing, among other things, which comes right out of those drumming traditions. With respect, O-10, you’re grasping at straws and digging your heels in: not to mention making stuff up.
Over and out on this one. Too bad.
