My absolute favorite drummer / swinging, creative, intense yet light, always moving forward: when he played with Pettiford it was perfection.

Thanks for this! I moved to Paris in 1979 and was amazed to find that Kenny Clarke was still a regular in the clubs. I saw him many times over the next few years and it was always a joyous occasion. He had the most warm, infectious swing. Cherished memories!
