Brian Blade – The Undertow
Biography
Brian made his first appearances as a sideman with pianist Brad Mehldau, Joshua Redman, Kenny Garrett, and continued to work as a sideman with other musicians commonly known as “young lions.” As a leader, he has released three albums - Fellowship, Perceptual, and most recently, Season of Changes, his Verve Music Group debut. Season of Changes has received rave reviews and continues to grow in popularity.
While continuing to work with the Fellowship, he is a member of Wayne Shorter’s most recent quartet and also participated in the “Directions in Music” band, a band dedicated to the music of Miles Davis and John Coltrane, featuring Michael Brecker, Herbie Hancock, and Roy Hargrove.
Blade has also recorded or performed with Joni Mitchell, Bill Frisell, Emmylou Harris, Daniel Lanois, Bob Dylan and others.
He is the son of Dorothy and Pastor Brady Blade Sr. (Pastor of the Zion Baptist Church in Shreveport, Louisiana), and the brother of Brady Blade Jr.

I love it! One of the best jazz drummers I've never seen. I hope that I'll get the chance to see him in Spain. Unforgetable, unbeliveable concert in San Sebastian some years ago!

I saw him last night at the Village Vanguard. If you ever get the chance to see him live, do it - its a religious experience. He's attempting things you've never seen in jazz percussion and it's amazing.
