Black Hills

Formerly from the Black Hills of South Dakota, the Seattle-based drummer creates a gentle and lyrical trio recording with pianist Marc Seales and his long-time rhythm section mate, bassist Jeff Johnson. Through Bill Evans' "Time Remembered," George Duke's "Love Reborn," and pop and country classics "Fire and Rain," "Ring of Fire," and "The Windmills of Your Mind," the trio's blues-based intimacy helps to create a richly textured collection of American music.
