JOEY BARON & KILLER JOEY

According to Joey Baron pleasure and creativity in playing are endlessly more important than emphasizing his virtuosity. In the groups of John Zorn, Bill Frisell and veterans Lee Konitz and Jim Hall, he stirs up melody and magic from his drum kit. His band Killer Joey, with Sex Mob bassist Tony Scherr, has torn the roof off the Bimhuis before. ‘His whole body IS the groove’ (de Volkskrant). ‘On stage Mr. Baron is absolutely engrossed in the fun of what he does’ (New York Times).
