JOEY BARON KILLER JOEY

in collaboration with VPRO Radio

Brad Shepik-guitar, Steve Cardenas-guitar, Tony Scherr-bass, Joey Baron-drums

I’m primarily interested in making what I do inviting and fun. I’m not trying to impress people with how good I can play the drums or displaying my virtuosity as my main thing.’ Joey Baron stands for endless creativity dripping with pleasure. He has conjured unprecedented melodic nuances from his drumming in the groups of other artists such as John Zorn, Bill Frisell, veterans Lee Konitz and Jim Hall, and countless others. He has already stood the Bimhuis on its head twice before with his own Killer Joey band, featuring Sex Mob-bassist Tony Sherr and guitarists Brad Shepik and Steve Cardenas in the front line.
