Andrew Charles Cyrille (born 10 November, 1939) is an avant-garde jazz drummer.
Cyrille was born in Brooklyn, New York into a family with a mother from Haiti. He began studying science at St. John’s University, but was already playing jazz in the evenings and switched his studies to the Juilliard School.

In addition to recording as a bandleader, he has recorded and/or performed with musicians like David Murray, Irène Schweizer, Marilyn Crispell, Carla Bley, Butch Morris and Reggie Workman among others.
