Just wanted to add that listeners new to Humcrush might want to cross-reference their work with (e.g.) Paul Bley and Tony Oxley's 'Spe-cu-lay-ting' ("In the Evenings Out There"/Bley, Peacock, Oxley & Surman; ECM 1488 517469-2. Percussionist/drummer Strønen also seems to have been influenced by Paul Motian and the inimical Ed Blackwell.
Lennie Tristano once said to his friend Motian that his 'fours' sounded like a drunk falling down the stairs'. That was an apposite complement and the young drummer took it so. As for Blackwell, has any genuine master drummer ever played with a smaller kit?
