Re: Stanton Moore (drummer for Galactic), "one of the deepest drummers around" and his solo disc lll.
From Mojo mag:
Moore's renown as one of the deepest drummers around comes from his time in jazz-funk outfit Galactic and an association with eight-string guitar wizard Charlie Hunter and saxophonist Skeric. Moore can certainly do sophisticated but on this third solo album, he leads organist Robert Walter and guitarist Will Bernard through some of the greasiest grooves this side of the Meters. Achieving a fantastic woody sound by recording at the New Orleans Preservation Hall, the record blends Big Easy traditions with all manner of influences, notably John Bonham. Moore has never been so thrilling, while Walter (who wrote most of the blues-heavy themes) and Bernard unerringly balance the traditional with the intrepid. From the tearaway (Poison Pushy, Licorice) to the tender (Abdullah Ibrahim's Water From An Ancient Well), this band takes chances and takes charge; check out their superb soul jazz take on When The Levee Breaks.
Sounds tasty, donut?
Moore.
