Nic Cacioppo

New York City based drummer and composer Nic Cacioppo has been described by Downbeat Magazine as “a fascinating drummer” who “goes hard”. Originally from the greater Philadelphia area, and the son of two Classical musicians, Nic started playing drums professionally as a teenager in Philly and South Jersey. During this time he was fortunate to have a diverse mixture of formative musical experiences with a variety of people and musical situations. Since migrating to New Jersey over a decade ago, Cacioppo has had the distinct honor of working with world class musicians including Slide Hampton, Johnny O’Neal, Gene Perla, Tyshawn Sorey, Wallace Roney, and David Murray, and has been a member of the JD Allen trio for over a year now. Cacioppo has recorded as a sideman on record labels including HighNote-Savant Records and PM Records and has performed at venues including Blue Note (NYC), North Sea Jazz Festival (Rotterdam, Netherlands), Duc Des Lombards (Paris, France), Smoke Jazz Club (NYC), Ravinia Festival (Illinois), Birdland (NYC), Jazz Standard (NYC), Chicago Jazz Festival, Smalls Jazz Club (NYC)

Jazzmeia, Newk, Bird, Dave & More

Read "Jazzmeia, Newk, Bird, Dave & More" reviewed by Marc Cohn


Showtime, don't ya know? Jazzmeia Horn was scheduled to perform in Baton Rouge recently, but the gig got 'coronaed.' So, we do a mini-concert here, and hope she can reschedule when this plague dissipates. Shoot, they even cancelled the St. Patrick's Day parade here; so you know this is serious business. We also continue centennial celebrations ...

JD Allen: Barracoon

Read "Barracoon" reviewed by Mackenzie Horne


To describe JD Allen's Barracoon as a great record would give a false impression--though it is in fact a fantastic record. It would be demeaning to only refer to the piece as a great exemplar of post-bop production.
