VirgilDonati

 

Mon 9/7 @ 7PM

You might not recognize Australian drummer Virgil Donati’s name — outside of a few avid self-promoters, drummers not in a famous band are an anonymous lot to most outside the drum community. But you will surely recognize the names of some of the musicians to whom he has provided able support, including Steve Vai, Tony McAlpine and Allan Holdsworth. And he was co-founder of progressive rock/fusion jazz group Planet X with keyboard player Derek Sherinian.

Donati has also released several solo albums, most recently 2013’s In This Life, which showcase his impressive technical skills and his versatility. He’s hitting the road now, touring under his own name with a quartet that includes Brazilian jazz guitarist Andre Nieri, NYC-based keyboard player Isamu McGregor who has played with artists ranging from Patti Austin to Wu Tang’s GZA to Colby Caillet, and bassist Anthony Crawford, who played on In This Life). They’ll be performing at Nighttown. Tickets are $25.
