About
Acclaimed master drummer Tommy Campbell brings his formidable trio to the Zinc jazz club. He’s supported by guitarist Paul Bollenback and bassist Santi Debriano.
As the nephew of Hammond B3 Legend Jimmy Smith, Tommy Campbell was born into a musical family and was “surrounded by music and drummers since (he) was two years old.” He worked with Dizzy Gillespie over a span of almost two decades, and also the same with Sonny Rollins. Tommy recorded and toured extensively with John McLaughlin and came up through the musicianship ranks with lifelong friend and mentor Kevin Eubanks. Campbells “Vocal~Eyes” is a concept he developed while playing with the Manhattan Transfer and living in New York City. Tommy concentrated on blending the straight up groove of Jazz with vocal melodies and syncopated lyrics and arrangements that pull from BeBop through Ethnic Music, Hip-Hop, and other wide varieties of music....
