The coolest by far is the second collaboration with Calvin Weston.... I'll say it again --- unbelievable union --- he has been one of my favorite drummers since the early 80's. Him, Ronald Shannon Jackson, Jack DeJohnette, Han Bennink, Tony Oxley.... etc etc.... However, a couple of years ago - we connected on facebook and we decided to work within a highly improv, jazz-rock-fusion music-scape.... well, not really - he supplied the drums and said "do your thang..."... NO ZONE was the result - and it was so fun.... HOPEFUL SOULS is the latest effort - but this time, instruments from around the world seeped in along with the driving fusion... I am very happy with both - and cosmically elated to work with one of my drum idols I was banging my head to 35+ years ago...!!!!
