The Great Drum Show with Pete Cater
A big band show with a difference, The Great Drum Show pays homage to the great drummers of the big band era, the masters of jazz, as well as featuring more recent work associated with legendary pop and studio drummers.
Unforgettable swing era star names like Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich, modern jazz pioneers including Philly Joe Jones, Tony Williams and Shelly Manne, as well as more recent legends including Phil Collins and Steve Gadd: even Ringo Starr gets an honourable mention.
Music is interspersed with commentary, anecdotes and history giving the show a broad, entertaining appeal that extends beyond the jazz/big band aficionado.
Lineup for the show is as follows:
Mike Coates, Richard Shepherd: Alto Sax
Andy Panayi, Martin Dunsdon: Tenor Sax
Jay Craig: Baritone Sax
Andy Greenwood, Kevin Wedrychowski, Richard Freeman, Steve Fishwick: Trumpets
Andy Flaxman, Matt Seddon, Richard Wigley, Mark Frost: Trombones
