Give the Drummer Some: Herlin Riley
April 11, 2025 @ 7:00 PM PDT
New Orleans native Herlin Riley is the quintessential Crescent City rhythm master whose style is the ultimate mix of post-bop edge and second-line swagger.
He came to prominence as a member of fellow New Orleans jazz hero Wynton Marsalis’s various ensembles, recording over 30 albums with the trumpeter including several of his Standard Time releases and the Pulitzer Prize-winning 1997 jazz oratorio Blood on the Fields with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, for which he originated the signature percussion parts.
