		Jack DeJohnette has remained one of jazz music’s most imaginative and inexhaustible drummers since his arrival on the scene as a member of Charles Lloyd’s quartet.

	Sabian and Jack DeJohnette create resonating bells
		Legendary drummer and composer Jack DeJohnette has teamed up with the cymbalmakers at Sabian to produce a new and different percussion instrument, one that can be played randomly or in piano-like fashion; Resonating Bells.
		DeJohnette mixes the definite pitch of the Resonating Bells with the indefinite pitch of his drum and cymbal setup by positioning a full octave of bells atop his cymbals using 3- and 5-note mounting bars.
		DeJohnette, who was a catalyst for what became the Sabian Signature collection - which includes his Signature Jack DeJohnette Encore range of cymbals - is renowned for his adventurous approach to sound.

	Jack DeJohnette: Music from the Hearts of the Masters - PopMatters Music Review
		Still, jazz musicians like Jack DeJohnette have been understandably drawn to Africa and its music, journeying to their origins because unlike jazz's important European roots, the African sources for jazz are not taught in schools, not readily notated, and not generally accessible in New York or St. Louis or Chicago.
		In jazz, DeJohnette is known as a singular master of several elements of the kit (particularly his snare work) and an expert at all.
		Jack DeJohnette is still recording jazz for ECM, so Golden Beams is a platform for the other facets of DeJohnette's talent.

	John Surman/Jack DeJohnette :Invisible Nature
		DeJohnette's ballad, "Song for World Forgiveness" that ends the disc has a pre-arranged structure, but the rest is pretty freely improvised.
		The piece, centered on a bass line created by DeJohnette using an electronic drum and a drone chord created by Surman, allows DeJohnette to provide low-key percussion with occasional punctuating outbursts while Surman dances and capers around the mode suggested by the drone and bass line.
		DeJohnette is able to create a variety of effects on the electronic drums using his hands.

		So this performance by Jack DeJohnette was good to me and to the future international jazz scene of drummers, and his 17 minutes long drumsolo was more, and better, than anything I had ever imagined could be done with just two arms.
		Jack DeJohnette was the drummer so he MUST be the best.
		This is what I meant by "best of all", Jack D. being the drummer duing the past 30 years, who - like no one else - that I know of, has recorded with more other giants in jazz music in their names - than anybode else.

		Jack DeJohnette is back on ECM and all`s right with the world.
		In the latter stages of "Priestesses of the Mist," the metallic connection between piano strings and cymbals is explored in a rhythmic improvisation, and in "Free Above the Sea" one is reminded of Japanese Kabuki by the isolated woodblock and plucked strings.
		In "From the Heart," DeJohnette`s fascinating baroque cymbal work can be heard adorning the main body of the piece until, for a brief moment, the band breaks into a full-fledged swinging section.

		In 1969, DeJohnette replaced Tony Williams in Miles Davis' band; later that year, he played on the trumpeter's seminal jazz-rock recording Bitches Brew.
		In the '70s and '80s, DeJohnette became something like a house drummer for ECM, recording both as leader and sideman with such label mainstays as Jan Garbarek, Kenny Wheeler, and Pat Metheny.
		That side of DeJohnette is shown to good effect in his work with Keith Jarrett's Standards trio, and in his occasional meetings with Abercrombie and Dave Holland in the Gateway trio.

	Jack DeJohnette featuring Bill Frisell: The Elephant Sleeps But Still Remembers - PopMatters Music Review
		Ever since he first came to public prominence in the mid-’60s, drummer Jack DeJohnette has consistently dwelt in jazz’s leftfield: whether as part of Charles Lloyd’s psychedelic crossover band; in Miles Davis’s epochal, proto-fusion outfits; or as leader on numerous ‘multi-directional’ ECM albums.
		The album is peppered with short, sonic vignettes and you can virtually hear the grins on the musicians’ faces as they goad and dare each other through these brief but intense bursts of imagination, all of which have been retrospectively awarded humorously apt titles.
		Likewise, DeJohnette eschews drum pyrotechnics, sticking close to the beat but making perfect use of his famously fluid sense of time to keep things interesting, with waves of intensity ebbing and flowing.

	* Dusted Reviews - Keith Jarrett / Gary Peacock / Jack DeJohnette *
		Arguably the world’s preeminent piano trio, Jarrett, Peacock and DeJohnette have been an institution in improvised music for decades, almost since their inception in 1984 as an outfit originally organized to explore the rich history of jazz standards.
		Peacock and DeJohnette appear at ease with their employer’s idiosyncratic behavior and focus instead on conjuring impromptu spirits from their respective divining rods of bass and drums.
		Moving from modest beginnings into a dark, portentous groove dominated by stabbing block chords and the corpulent ostinato of Peacock’s bass, the piece is awash in an almost angry dysphoria.

	Amazon.com: Special Edition: Music: Jack DeJohnette (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		In contrast to jazz percussion peers Art Blakey and Elvin Jones, Jack DeJohnette is more of an impressionist on the drums, a specialist in subtle cymbal work and understated tom-tom accents.
		DeJohnette can play hard when he wants to, but this new album emphasizes the quieter, more nuanced aspects of his playing.
		As for the drumming (it is a drummer's record-although you may not know by the interesting compositions) it is classic DeJohnette: dark, earthy, elastic, swinging, intellectual, soulful, and before he started playing the clanky, unmusical cymbals with drums tuned for funk/rock.
