...other critics something less than blind enthusiasm--whatever, I say, one thinks of it, one cannot deny its dramatic power and effectiveness. This dramatic power is what John Barbirolli fails to recreate. He is in general a pedestrian conductor, lacking the ability to envision a whole symphony in one flash, and so give his performances a clear stamp. The recording of the Sibelius Second suffers from this indeterminateness. It is rushed and nervous in places, stodgy in others, and prevailingly slovenly. One may quarrel with details of tempi when Koussevitzky plays the work, but without exception he gives a performance...
Right behind Azzone is Al Pajonas, who scored 20 points against the Crimson last year and ten in this year's game with Colby. Centering these two flash forwards will be Joe Lawler, another member of the Husky Freshman five which tripped the Yardlings last year...

And this is the point I'm trying to get at : if a drummer doesn't fit in with a band, he's playing flash and is a one-man band himself. This seems to me to be extremely important in jazz music. For drums are naturally the loudest instruments in an orchestra, and consequently a bad drummer can do more harm to a good band than any other musician...
