- Jazz drummer, Joe Farnsworth shares memories of jazz drummer legend, Mr. A.T. He takes you all around New York City and shows you were he lived, where you played, and also invites Art Taylor's bandmates to share memories of him and even play a little music.
The passion Joe has for this music is the reason why he plays so great! Thank you Joe!
AT was one of the coolest human beings ever to have played behind the drum set. Joe, you, yourself are as much a musical treasure! 🤎🥁
I bought Notes and Tones in the early 90‘s - important ! Also enjoyed A.T‘s Delight on LP - thanks A.T ! ❤
Excellent, it reminds me going back in time to big Sid Catlett and his approach to the snare drum.
"...and that bass drum would hit you so hard your ribs would hurt." Love these stories and insights. Fantastic show!
Great retrospective, Joe. I loved AT's playing and he's on so many important and favorite of the jazz LPs I grew up listening to over the years with people like John Coltrane, Bud, Donald Byrd, Jackie Mac and many others. One evening I was visiting Lou Orenstein at his apartment on W.55th St. (Vernel Fournier also lived there at the time and Jackie used to live there in the 60s. During my visit with Lou, the bell rang and Lou said "come in" and in walked Arthur Taylor and Walter Bolden. They often could be seen together hanging out. It was nice to see A.T. in an informal setting away from the bandstand. I love his book especially the interviews with Philly Joe, Erroll Garner and Don Byas.
thanks a lot!!
This is lovely Joe - thank you! Will check out your whole series here
Thanks Joe!
this is pure gold
Again, Joe thank you!

Thanks!
U are the best! As AT used to be!!! Thanks!!!
Great stuff Joe...Happy New Year and thanks for sharing those great stories. You're the Man!
Thanks for sharing these great stories. I love the sound of your drums on stage at Vanguard!!!! NIce,crisp,and great tone!
Thanks very much for sharing this.
I notice in many of your videos that you mention many different drummers but how about mentioning the world's greatest drummer that ever lived with no equal Mr. Buddy Rich. Try demonstrating Buddy's blinding single stroke roll.
With all due respect to Buddy Rich’s drumming prowess, he gets plenty of accolades. What Joe Farnsworth and company intimate and bring to the foreground is all the magic, beauty and enlightenment that this music and perhaps lesser known musicians had and has to offer it’s and their listeners. Listen to Joe tell his stories of all the people that influenced him, with great affection might I add. For all of his reverence, can you say people think the same of Buddy Rich? I’m not denying that he was a phenomenal musician but I’m talking about the human being behind music. I’m more than happy to hear your perspective on this.
