Naaaaa gonna take issue with this. When I left academia in 2020, there was plenty of excellent work going on regarding rhythm in popular music, developing Hasty et al. The last two PopMac conferences I went to had enough rhythmic analysis to fill an entire day from memory

I’m waiting for something to transcribe - perfectly - the definitive 1964 live version of “Hymn To Freedom” by Oscar Peterson. I ain’t got no time to be working all that shit out 😂

Several times I watched him try something (great), lose the ball (whatever), but be out of position and then just idly trot towards wherever the ball ended up hoping someone would be both in his position and sort out getting possession. No fucks given

If we can just get him to run and look like he gives a shit, then I think there might be a future for him. It’s ok when you play like Morgan Rogers…
