Barry Romberg



Here's another drummer today who I feel should get some wider recognition, Toronto-based Canadian Jazz drummer Barry Romberg. Barry plays with a real inventiveness and aggressive approach to the drums and is the choice sideman for many of Toronto's Jazz artists these days as well as leading his own groups (such as his Random Access large ensemble) and teaching at York University.

Here's Romberg in action with tenor saxophonist Kirk MacDonald and bassist Kieran Overs from a trio date at Rex Hotel & Jazz Bar in Toronto on the standard "All The Things You Are":
