Tony Allen RIP

Arguably one of the greatest drummers in history and a founding grandfather of Afrobeat Tony Allen joined Ginger Baker on that great drum stool in the sky yesterday. There's a lovely moment in this clip (around 4 minutes 38 seconds in) when Ginger looks across at Tony and smiles...not something Ginger seemed to do a great deal in his latter years...seemingly at the sheer  joy of playing with a fellow genius.
