I got Rhythm Contrafacts: Syntax by JJ Johnson

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=betIOVwks8s

I just love how JJ takes his ideas, connects them and develops them. I like how he uses runs functionally to move and develop ideas rather than just impress people by doing a lot of runs which I don’t like as much.

Here’s the list of 20 other contrafacts and my sources.
