SUMMARY:Billy Drummond and Freedom of Ideas
DESCRIPTION:Billy Drummond and Freedom of Ideas\n \n\n\nBy The Side Door Jazz Club \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday\, August 9 · 8 – 10:30pm EDT. Doors at 7:15pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Side Door\, 85 Lyme St \, Old Lyme\, CT 06371 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBilly Drummond – Drums \nSteve Wilson – Saxophones \nAdam Birnbaum – Piano \nDezron Douglas – Bass \nBilly Drummond: A Jazz Drumming Legend \nAcclaimed by Downbeat as “one of the hippest bandleaders now at work\,” Billy Drummond’s thrilling\, powerful\, and highly musical playing has also made him one of the most called-for sidemen of his generation. Mentored in the bands of jazz legends Horace Silver\, Joe Henderson\, Bobby Hutcherson\, J.J. Johnson\, and Sonny Rollins\, Drummond is now widely acknowledged as one of today’s most versatile drummers\, making sideman appearances with a veritable who’s who of jazz greats on over 350 albums. \n“The sound of a musician fully engaged\, hearing and reacting to everything happening around him.”— Kevin Whitehead\, NPR Fresh Air \nHe has made four albums as a leader—including Dubai\, a New York Times Number 1 Jazz Album of the Year—and his 2022 release\, Valse Sinistre (Cellar Live)\, which was named\, among other accolades\, Number 3 on the Top 40 Albums of 2022 by JazzTimes\, and was a Downbeat Best Album of 2022. His five albums as a co-leader include We’ll Be Together Again with Javon Jackson and legendary bassist Ron Carter\, which made several Top Ten lists of the Year. Modern Drummer magazine recently honored Dubai as one of the 50 Crucial Jazz Drumming Recordings of the Past 100 Years—“distilling to only 50\, a century’s worth of drumming on jazz recordings\, which by any reasonable guess would comprise tens if not hundreds of thousands of titles.” \n“I consider myself very fortunate to have come up playing with some of the innovators of jazz who\, in many instances\, helped shape the way this music is and will always be played\,” says Drummond. “Priceless experience for a young person learning how to be a musician. They taught me how to be a professional – to know the material\, to be on time and\, most of all\, to play from your heart.” \nBorn in Newport News\, Virginia\, where he grew up listening to his father’s extensive jazz record collection\, Drummond was leading his own bands from the age of eight and teaching adults from the age of just 14\, before going on to study classical percussion at the Shenandoah Conservatory of Music. In the late 1980s\, he was encouraged by Al Foster to move to New York\, where he was almost immediately recruited to the young band Out of the Blue (OTB)\, recording Spiral Staircase for Blue Note Records. When OTB disbanded\, Billy joined Horace Silver’s Sextet\, simultaneously starting lifelong associations with Buster Williams and Bobby Hutcherson\, and subsequently joining J.J. Johnson’s band\, followed by a three-year stint touring with Sonny Rollins. \nSince then\, Drummond has performed and recorded with many of the world’s jazz greats\, including Horace Silver\, Joe Henderson\, Bobby Hutcherson\, Buster Williams\, Steve Kuhn\, J.J. Johnson\, Sonny Rollins\, Charles Tolliver\, Nat Adderley\, Charles McPherson\, Eddie Henderson\, James Moody\, Sheila Jordan\, Andrew Hill\, Ron Carter\, Carla Bley\, Eddie Gomez\, Larry Willis\, Hank Jones\, Freddie Hubbard\, Lee Konitz\, Stanley Cowell\, Archie Shepp\, Joe Lovano\, Javon Jackson\, Chris Potter\, Eric Reed\, Ralph Moore\, Vincent Herring\, Franco Ambrosetti (Italy)\, Karin Krog (Norway)\, Sadao Watanabe (Japan)\, Toots Thielemans (Belgium)\, Barney Wilen (France)\, Laurent DeWilde (France)\, Jan Lundgren (Sweden)\, and Michel LeGrand (France). \nIn addition\, Drummond is a highly respected educator who has taught some of the current generation’s best young drummers while juggling a busy touring schedule with his duties as Professor of Jazz Drums at the Juilliard School of Music and NYU. He also gives private lessons and master classes—via Zoom and in-person—all over the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n
