On Thursday, February 23, PIT presents a special clinic event with Cuban drumming virtuoso Jimmy Branly. Branly has performed with nearly every major Cuban group in virtually every musical genre from straight-ahead jazz to fusion to hardcore dance music. His other performance credits include Flora Purim, Airto Moreira, Strunz and Farah, Sheila E, Jimmy Haslip, Russell Ferrante, Otmaro Ruiz, Poncho Sanchez, Alex Acuna and many others. His book The New Method for Afro-Cuban Drumming (Hudson Music) features Jimmy’s unique approach to playing contemporary Latin rhythms on the drumset.
