Minute of Drums - Episode 37: Jack DeJohnette

Here’s a groove in 7/4 from Jack DeJohnette. I transcribed this off of the track “Flying Spirits” from DeJohnette’s 1976 ECM record Untitled. You can find this phrase about 22sec into the introduction. If you listen carefully, you’ll notice much of this song is in 13… 7/4+6/4 with extended phrases in 7/4. DeJohnette flows through it all, making it feel completely natural.
