An Evening with Terry Bozzio
"TERRY BOZZIO - An Evening of Solo Drum Music" is a unique, intense,
dynamic, spiritualistic, melodic, orchestral, atmospheric, and musical
performance on the largest tuned drum & percussion set in the
world. Unless you have seen Terry, you have no idea what you are in
for. Bozzio is an enigmatic, evocative, and engaging musician whose
instrument just happens to be the drums. Terry Bozzio is able to
accompany himself with bass note patterns and, at the same time,
melodically solo on top with highly developed coordination skills to
express a complete musical statement on the drum set alone. Drawing
from jazz, classical, & ethnic percussion styles from around the
world, Terry Bozzio is "a storyteller," able to weave a hypnotic spell
over audiences and enthrall them with an eclectic experience filled with
contrast, variety, intimacy, excitement, & passion.
Terry has had tremendous success with his last two Terry Bozzio solo
drum performance tours in Europe (2012 included his headline show a the
Jazz Festival Frankfurt – the oldest jazz festival in the world – and
2013 which included sold out performances in Sweden, Germany, Eastern
Europe, and France). Please note that this is not a bombastic 2 hour
drum solo. This is MUSIC on drums, “an evening with Terry Bozzio.” In
most of Bozzio's works, he accompanies himself with bass lines while
soloing over it melodically on the tuned toms. There is space, classical
forms & structures, ambient electronic loops, and atmospheric
percussion effects, as well as some exciting & fiery drumming that
brings audiences to their feet!
