Drummer Jerome Jennings has worked with jazz royalty like Hank Jones, Sonny Rollins, Ray Charles, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Christian McBride, and dozens more. He’s also been a recent favorite at Jazz at Lincoln Center. From trios to big bands and beyond, Jennings’ deep pocket, versatility, and blazing chops have made him a first-call drummer and respected bandleader.

This performance is the album release celebration of his anticipated sophomore record, Solidarity.
