Event information

Scots drummer shows off his talent for composition and rhythm

Alyn has long been “the” drummer of choice north of the border holding a permanent seat in Tommy Smith’s Scottish National Jazz Orchestra. His lead rÔle in that Orchestra’s presentation of the music of Buddy Rich was a tour de force as exciting as any drummer can achieve. However less well known are his talents as a composer and arranger; this band rectifies that oversight.
Most numbers are up-tempo with a strong jazz-rock and funk feel and outstanding individual playing from the members of the quartet. The music conveys Alyn's love of artists such as Sting, Peter Gabriel, Steely Dan, Jaco Pastorius, celtic music star Michael McGoldrick, in a groove based electric band with challenging yet accessible time signatures.
The band’s first album Lyn’s Une was critically acclaimed and the second album is soon to be released. We can expect the best of both tonight.

'Alyn Cosker represents the best of the new generation of drummers currently on the scene. He's smokin'!' Joe Locke
