@Torunn saidSo many thoughts, of course -- but I have noticed that in the most obvious forums here, there hasn't been any discussion. Whether that was a decision by the admin or just mutual agreement and tacit understanding by the members, I think that's very respectable, and therefore I won't say anything else about the matter here.

Jack DeJohnette, dynamic and instantly recognizable jazz drummer, dies at 83
"DeJohnette had a singular voice at the drums: earthy and elastic, instantly recognizable.
Rather than focus the articulation of tempo on his ride cymbal, he often distributed his emphasis around the drum set.
He adapted this flowing approach from modern jazz innovators like Roy Haynes as well as avant-garde pioneers like Rashied Ali,
devising what he called a multidirectional style."
