I love Joe Farnsworth's Instagram account - such a fount of pure joy! What I've heard of the new album has been impressive - looking forward to hearing the whole thing.
Joe Farnsworth was already recognized early as an important force on the jazz scene by the late Gerry Teekens of Criss Cross Jazz. Check out Farns' first record as a leader 'Beautiful Friendship' (Criss Cross Jazz 1166) recorded already in 1998.

Nice piece, Hank. It’s funny how the Young Lions eventually all become respected elders, like Joe.

Thanks for your article!
This is an excellent article, Hank, and I was glad to see it in the NYTimes!
Great post — totally agree, I wish I noticed him sooner, he’s an absolutely incredible drummer!
Beautiful Hank...
