The band has established a devoted following for their superb musicianship and unique, fresh arrangements of material from the big band canon, with the powerhouse drumming of the leader at the heart of it all. Their self-titled album was recently released and features guest artists Randy Brecker, Santana’s Karl Perazzo, and Snarky Puppy’s Michael League. The son of acclaimed big band drummer Sonny Igoe, Tommy began drumming at the age of two and has worked with an impressive range of artists including Dave Grusin, Art Garfunkel, the New York Voices, and Stanley Jordan, among others. He performed extensively on Broadway, originating the drum and percussion book for the original production of Disney’s The Lion King, and has come into his own as an educator, penning a number of the most influential drumming method books in print.
