Andrew Cyrille with Bob Stewart and Roy Campbell
[Live taping for Roulette TV]

[part of the 'AVANT JAZZ - STILL MOVING' festival]

Ferociously innovative, free-jazz drummer Andrew Cyrille performs with Bob
Stewart (tuba) & Roy Campbell (trumpet). Cyrille spent eleven years as
Cecil Taylor’s drummer, leads a number of his own projects, exploring
everything from free improv to Haitian musical traditions. Cyrille was
born in Brooklyn and attended the Juilliard and Hartnett schools of music.
His work has earned him grants and awards from the NEA and Meet the
Composer and a Guggenheim Fellowship for composition. He has performed
with jazz artists ranging from Coleman Hawkins to Muhal Richard Abrams.
Starting in 1969, Cyrille began to organize the first of several
percussion groups, including Dialogue of the Drums, Pieces of Time and
Weights and Measures. Some of the distinguished artists who played in
these groups are Kenny Clark, Milford Graves, Famoudou Don Moye, Michael
Carvin and Obo Addy. Since 1988 he has toured and performed in the US and
abroad with the renowned Russian percussionist, Vladimir Tarasov. He is a
member of Trio 3, featuring alto saxophonist Oliver Lake and bassist
Reggie Workman. Over the past several years, he has been collaborating and
working with Archie Shepp, Roswell Rudd, Dave Douglas and William Parker,
among others.
