More Information
- John Amira, Lorne Watson, Harris Eisenstadt — batá drums
“An inventive drummer who sounds unlike anyone else.” — Scott Yanow, Jazz Inside
“Harris Eisenstadt, a drummer and composer originally from Toronto, takes a fixer’s approach to music making, looking for ways to fit the pieces together. In his own music especially, he often seems intent on extracting consonance from dissonance or forging ungainliness into grace.” — Nate Chinen, The New York Times
One of only a handful of drummers equally well known for his work as a composer, the Brooklyn resident is among the most versatile and prolific musicians of his generation. His eclectic resume includes studies with some of the most respected names in jazz and improvised music, West African and Cuban drumming, and performances in genres ranging from film and theater to poetry and dance to contemporary classical and opera.
