Steve Smith just completed a North American tour with his band Jazz Legacy. For those of us who missed them, a 10-minuteish documentary has been posted to YouTube (and, of course, embedded in high quality below).
Most sobering revelation: even drumming royalty have to set up their own kits on jazz tours.
