I saw Jeff Hamilton for the first time a couple of months ago....I must say I thought he played extremely artistic.
Not sure I can narrow this down though....there are sooooooo many.

Check out David King of The Bad Plus. The guy is brilliantly creative.

I recommend checkin out Susie Ibarra. She's involved in a lot of projects in the New York area and she's a phenom player. I think you can check her out on both susieibarra.com and on vicfirth.com. Not neccessarily "jazz" music, but what really is "jazz" anyway?

When I see or hear this question, the first person who comes to mind is the great Jeff Hamilton. He is very musical, creative and has great chops. The best Jazz drummer period, IMO.

Yea, Jeff Ballard is a really good jazz artist. another one (who may be less known) is Eric Harland. He's got a bit more afro-neworleans feel to him, but i've seen him live with a couple groups and he does it for me.

When I think of which drummer strikes me as forging new and interesting jazz today, Lewis Nash is at the forefront of my thoughts. I think he takes the best of the 50s/60s combos drummers and makes fantastic new statements. Always tasty, appropriately reserved, and very, very, very musical.

Strange I didn't see a name here in that thread that belong to that very thread, I mean Mr. Joe Morello. How can a guy whose his name is a reference in the genre can be forgotten. Morello mean artist in his soul, it mean creativity, musicality and humility  |

Oh man...I can't believe I forgot to include Joe Morello in my first post. I first heard about him on Tiger Bill Meligari's website. He said he had the pleasure of studying with Morello as a young man, and he said his technique was absolutely incredible. As usual, I was interested in seeing amazing technique in action. After seeing this video, I knew I had been missing out on a good deal of great drumming up until that point when I found out about him. In case anybody hasn't seen the video I'm talking about, here it is. It's definitely a must see for ANY drummer: http://drummerworld.com/Videos/joemorello1961.html |

Check out Steve Gadd's performance on Chick Corea's album "Three Quartets". There's some artistic chops flying around there.

Filmed back in the days before Ludwig (or any other drum company) figured out how to make bass drum spurs that prevented creep.  |

I havent listened to enough to even make a comment. Ive heard snippets of various jazz guys. I remember driving home late one night and was in a rare jazz mood so i was tuned into a station. The drummer really caught my ear more than most and i havent forgotten it. His name was Kenny Clarke and i hope i spelled his name right?. His playing and sound just hit me.
