New Orleans is a drummer’s town. But in this town full of first
class drummers, HERLIN RILEY [http://www.herlinriley.com/] is
“the” drummer. The Baron of the Boom Boom. The Pulse that keeps
the life flowing through any body of work. Born into a musical family
steeped in gospel, blues and jazz, Wynton Marsalis asked him to join
him in New York in 1988 where he stayed for almost two decades while
still maintaining a home in New Orleans. He still is a regularly
featured musician with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra but now is
back in his home town when he’s not on tour with Ahmad Jamal, Dr.
John, or Harry Connick, Jr. He lights up a stage with just his
presence and always fires up the first class jazz artists who love to
play with him.
Tonight, he presents his QUARTET AT HIS MONTHLY SNUG RESIDENCY.
