Oh, it's in a MODDDDDEEEE.

Like pie, y'mean?

I mean if we're bringing JOEY FUCKING BARRON into it. I have, and would, pay to see him play solo for 90 minutes.

NOT CRAP

You ain't kidding. He's such an incredibly musical drummer — I don't know how else to put it, but that's the only adjective that comes to mind. Killer tuning, too.

He's definitely great, but I did get to see the Joey Baron Trio in the 90's and it left no impression at all. I was already a fan of his for his time with Bill Frisell, and he killed with Masada earlier that same month. Context means a lot, there is a big number of players I became a fan of in a band context (even as hired guns) who were underwhelming elsewhere. So many examples.
