More Minutes 41 - Vernel Fournier

I'm a huge Ahmad Jamal Trio fan, especially his classic trio with Israel Crosby on bass and Vernel Fornier on drums. In addition to his highly swinging and perfectly supportive straight ahead playing, Fournier created iconic grooves for the trio inspired by his New Orleans roots. This More Minutes lessons shows you a variation on the groove from "Autumn Leaves" featured on Minute of Drums 41, and also two grooves from the iconic Live At The Pershing recording of "Poinciana".
