About
“the hardest-working drummer in the Twin Cities” – Star Tribune Drummer JT Bates grew up at the Dakota, being in the same room as many of the drummers who created this language of the modern drumset. Billy Higgins, Ben Riley, Elvin Jones, Max Roach, and on from those depths. To share a stage shared by so much music from far and wide is an honor. Proud to present this quartet of old friends and magical musicians Jeffrey Bailey (bass), Michael Lewis (saxophone), & Bryan Nichols (piano).
