Forrest Young - drums

Forrest Young: From headlining jazz festivals with Dane Alderson (Yellowjackets, Bob Mintzer Big Band) and Chris Whiteman (Veronica Swift, D-Angelo) to drumming on three Emmy Award winning documentary soundtracks, Forrest Young has been performing with peak precision and a heartfelt pocket for over 30 years. Since the late 1990s, Forrest has been known as the “Emergency Drummer,” filling in the missing beats for everyone from The Platters & The Drifters to African repertoire band, Afro Zen Allstars! His album credits include a Thelonious Monk tribute called “Monk's Playground” featuring guitar wizard, Chris Vasi, as well as an original fusion project called “One Thing Right” with multi-instrumentalist, Brian Mesko.
