I really dig Nilssen-Love on the School Days records, particularly his interaction with Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten on their version of Rosmosis. Extremely loose feel but with a bad-ass, heavy groove.

FROM NORWAY . THE FRODE GJERSTAD TRIO

Frode Gjerstad . . . . . . . saxophone(s) .clarinet Øyvind Storesund . . . . double bass Paal Nilssen - Love . . . . drum kit . percussion (reviews and website at bottom of mail)

the most impressive drumming i've seen of recent is from dillinger escape plan (check allmusic.com or www.dillingerescapeplan.com ) ;calculating infinity or their EP with mike patton: irony is a dead sc ene).

Strange, I saw the same band in Porland and was at no moment compelled to really listen to the drummer. I found both the drummer and the bass player to be in the "meet-the-requirement" category (you would notice them if they stopped playing, but besides that, they failed in my opinion to bring sparks or imagination to the performance).

Patrice.
