Born:

Rhythm Is My Business" is the title of his debut recording as a leader, and rhythm is a booming business as far as Lewis Nash is concerned. He is the drummer of choice for an incredible array of artists - from the masters of the music to the hottest young players of today - and is equally in demand as a clinician and educator.

Read "French Postcard" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


In 2001, saxophonist Bennie Wallace released a breakout album, Moodsville (Groove Note).
