Sean Jefferson

Born: November 25, 1981

Jazz history isn't exactly short on drummers who’ve pushed the artform to new heights. Some of them, as we all know,managed to do it on a nightly basis. For today’s jazzdrummer, that means one thing: if you want to leave your mark, relying on chops and technique just isn’t going to do. You have to have a voice...

Though Sean Jefferson has certainly made it his life’s work to try and master the vast traditions set forth by drummers before him, he never set out to make music strictly for drummers. Or musicians. Or even jazz fans. Yes, he has studied rigorously. Yes, he has a knack for putting a fresh, cerebral spin on meter. Yes, he grooves hard and swings tight. But Jefferson has always, from day one, been in search of his own voice. And, though he is already pushing toward new horizons in jazz drumming, as a composer he points theway to a vision of jazz’s future as a language, and is never content to fall into the role of pedestrian beat-supplier. As faras Sean is concerned, drums must always fit into the greater whole of the music.
