I have gotten a majority of the jazz I have from the library at school. They have a pretty large section with tons of CDs to choose from. I picked up a Wynton Marsalis album in a huge stack of CDs and this was another great find.
Not only is the whole album a good listen but the drummer Ali Jackson is excellent. Here a transcription of the intro to the track “Skipping” which has some awesome syncopated licks and some cool hi-hat work. Enjoy!
