I've always been a huge fan of jazz and especially the funk brand (maybe not so much smooth jazz).
A few listens and you'll see why  one of my favorite drummers of the genre is none other than
Stanton Moore.

Born and raised in New Orleans, Stanton is right in the middle of the pocket between street and swamp. Impeccable timing and sweet grooves fill the sound of my 60's era Sansui speakers as I listen in Sweet Delight. I hope you enjoy!
