“This is one nimble drummer…Even at frantic, breakneck tempos when Richard is summoning untold chops and complexity, he never permits cymbals or drums to wash out. This fine control, articulation, and sense of proportion no doubt explains Irwin’s perch at the top of the competitive Montreal jazz scene.”
