What I really loved about Drum Suite was Ray Bryant's piano.
Very funky, very latin, but also with a strong blues influence. I'll
check all the stuff you mention. I've listened, briefly to 'a night in
tunisia' by Blakey which Dan recommended, which is pretty cool.
Which dizzy albums/tune should i look for? I confess i know
nothing about dizzy!
Does anybody know anything about Ray Bryant though? What else
did he do that is like Drum Suite? (He wrote the amazing Cubano
Chant, which is also featured on Jazz Juice, Gilles Peterson's first
compilation from 1985)
Cheers for the hints!
