Event: Jojo Mayer DVD Release Party!

Swiss-born Jojo Mayer started playing drums at an early age and made his first public performance at two sitting in with his father’s band.

At eighteen, Mayer received international exposure through touring with jazz pianist Monty Alexander and backing up jazz legends Dizzy Gillespie and Nina Simone.

In the early ’90s, Mayer moved from Europe to NYC, where he worked as a first-call sideman for a wide range of artists.

Jojo’s own band, the improv electronica project Nerve, established the drummer as one of the great performers and innovators on the instrument. His concepts and techniques of reverse-engineering electronic drumbeats on an acoustic drumset introduced a new paradigm for a generation of musicians to follow.

In the March 2014 issue, Modern Drummer listed Jojo Mayer as one of the “50 Greatest Drummers of All Time.”
