First Word Top Sevens: #2 Jack Baker

Top Seven Drummers - The Jack Baker Trio


1. Joseph 'Zigaboo' Modeliste - The man behind the Meters, it doesn't get much better than this for the funk.

2. Steve Gadd - One of the most soulful drummers ever lived, he can make an rubbish track into a classic.

3. Max Roach - The master, the soloist, the teacher, the god.

4. Amir Thompson aka Questlove - One day I will manage to rip off everything he does... True grit.

5. Aaron Spears - One of the leaders in the gospel scene, he makes me want to get fat and play fast...

7. Elvin Jones - A true jazz legend, he plays with his balls in one hand and his heart in the other.


Happy Birthday, peace and love to the First Word crew.
