Rhythm of the Americas: Grammy Award-Winning Drummer/Composer Mark Walker Comes to The Beehive

Grammy award-winning drummer/composer, Mark Walker, is bringing his new group, Rhythm of the Americas to The Beehive on Thursday, January 27th, 2011 for a night of jazz improvisation featuring South American, Caribbean and North American rhythms and percussion.

Rhythm of the Americas was formed by Mark Walker as a way to balance the two sides of music he loves—the traditional Afro-Latin folklore of his work Paquito D’Rivera, and the expansive world Jazz style of his work with Oregon. Joining Walker at the core of the group are two masters of percussion, Ernesto Diaz and Marcus Santos. Together these three percussion virtuosos drive the ensemble with passion, groove and fire while saxophonist Dan Ian Smith, guitarist Tim Miller, organist Dave Limina, bassist Andres Rotmistrovsky and pianist Rebecca Cline, all masters of Jazz improvisation, bring the rhythm home.

The performance will include music comprised from Walker’s original compositions, including the Grammy-nominated “Deep Six”, recorded by Oregon, and “What About That!”, which was featured on Paquito D’Rivera Quintet’s Grammy winning CD “Funk Tango.” Other compositions are featured in Walker’s instructional book “World Jazz Drumming” (Berklee Press/Hal Leonard).
