At rehearsal one day I started to play the riff from the song, Pilgrim by Wishbone Ash. I wouldn't have expected these jazz guys to know where the riff came from but John immediately recognized it and started playing right along with me. Jeff stopped us and asked if we thought it would be cool if he used the song to play a drum solo over. Are you kidding me? It's in 7/8 time. Too cool.
