Neil Gray
As a 15 year veteran of the Western Canadian music scene Neil Gray has played in many styles including Funk, Country, Blues, R&B, Dub/Reggae, Drum+Bass, Bebop/Hardbop, Big Band Swing, Brazilian/Argentinian folk music and Afro-Cuban. These many styles, rhythms and textures have influenced him both as a player and as composer drawing him towards hard swinging, punchy rhythms that burst with life and slow, burning ballads that play out the human condition - both suffering and joy.
His current focus is to bring out and solidify his chops in the music closest to his heart; Jazz, specifically the genres of Hardbop and Bebop. Strongly influenced by musicians such as Art Blakey, Jimmy Cobb, Art Taylor and Max Roach, when it comes to drum kit playing Neil focuses on a propulsive, no-nonsense, swinging sound with the intent to light a fire under the band - pushing the music to new heights.
