Drummer Craig McIver has been making waves as the drummer of choice for a number of the region’s finest, including Odean Pope, Bobby Zankel, Khan Jamal and countless others. McIver is an inspired, challenging and exploratory percussionist best-known for his long association with the equally exploratory reedman Odean Pope, but his work as a leader on recordings that include A Horse of a Different Rhythm has been acclaimed as well. As one music writer put it, “Craig McIver certainly knows his way around the traps."
