About Me


HERE WHAT THE JAZZ TIMES SAY'S ABOUT DRUMMER NATHAN JOLLEY. Drummer Nathan is an equally confident and expressive player whose performance was a display of youthful athleticism; he buoyed and bounced around the kit with an elasticity that matched the shifting dynamics of his drumming. It was explosive musicianship that deserved a bountiful audience. http://jazztimes.com/index.cfm I'm a 21 year old drummer, I play Jazz, Neo-soul, R&B, Gospel, and all kind of music I. try to keep my ears open to everything new, and old.
