Drummer Alvin Queen Interviewed at AAJ
There are two types of great drummers in jazz, the impeccable time keepers and the ones who bring something more to both the instrument and the pieces/groups in which they appear. Alvin Queen is of the latter group, possessing a casual grace and instantly recognizable sound. He is in a direct line of artistic descendants from other great skin-men including Billy Higgins, Elvin Jones and Max Roach.
AAJ contributor Maxwell Chandler sat down with Queen to talk about his impressive pedigree.
