Description
Join Ranger Hunter Miles Davis and renown percussionist and composer, Simon Lott, as they explore New Orleans percussion traditions, artists who have influenced the jazz genre, and the history and cultures behind todays jazz drumming, in the city where it all began.
Drummer & beyond, Simon Lott was born on January 6, 1982 and has been making music professionally since 1995. His career as a versatile drummer began in Louisiana at age 13 in Baton Rouge & New Orleans. He completed an B.A. in English Literature in 2004. At age 23, he moved to New York City after the destructive Hurricane Katrina & began touring internationally. 2 years later, he returned to the South and has been living in New Orleans since.
He fashioned his first album of original music at age 18, an instrumental jazz recording called "In The Parking Lott of Swing." Then at age 23 completed his second album of original music entitled "Things." Things stepped into other facets of music: hip-hop, electronica, funk, rock, R&B, and included bits of vocals and a heavy amount of post-production and "cutting-&-pasting" of live recorded tracks mixed with composition and improvisation, highlighting Lott's skills as composer as well as producer. The music was recorded in 2002 and was slowly edited over 3 years.
