Joe Farnsworth - Calendar

"When called on to execute tempos that are almost absurdly fast, Farnsworth makes them sound measured, rather than frantic or mechanical. He sustains a ride cymbal rhythm cleanly and without any sign of strain, stays in sync with the bassist (his hook-up with Peter Washington is exceptional), makes brief yet meaningful comments on all of the drums, and never loses momentum while leaving the cymbal to produce two-handed fills."
