Hey Rombsix!
Thanks for posting the Steve Giordano clip. I used to be one of his fans back in the days; I had one of his albums, and I've seen him play live in duet with a vibraphone player in the early 80's in Philadelphia. How wonderful to see this kind person on the teachers stool!
As far as poly-rhythms are concerned I had always believed it to consist of a combination of two or more musical phrases played in different meters within the same stretch of time.
In my view your Paco foot example does not fall into this frame of analysis because it consists of a rhythm pattern well contained within the original basic meter of the buleria - I think.
Still, for me being quite a novice it's very hard to let it physically sink deep into the musical subconscious so as to be able to groove on it permanently, as in "auto-pilot" mode.
Again thanks for the links, G.
