Pete Cater Big Band – Drum Spectacular

Award-winning UK jazz drummer Pete Cater was voted 5th in the world by Rhythm Magazine in 2015 and in 2027 he reaches a personal milestone. This year marks Pete's fiftieth anniversary as a big band drummer. 

This big band concert pays homage to many of the legends of big band and jazz drumming including Buddy Rich, Art Blakey, Tony Williams, Shelly Manne, Joe Morello and many more, as well as including some 'autobiographical' music from Pete's five decades in the driver's seat. The show highlight is a stunning new take on West Side Story from arranger Florian Ross.
