Joey Baron: Down Home

With credits as diverse as Tony Bennett, Jay McShann, Philip Glass, John Zorn and the L.A. Philharmonic, drummer Baron draws from a wide variety of experiences in terms of playing and composition. Throw in his southern roots and the talents of alto saxophonist Arthur Blythe, bassist Ron Carter and guitarist Bill Frisell-who reconcile their musical differences with ease-and you get a set that uniquely grooves from start to finish.
