“The Drumslinger” Chad Rager leads the Chad Rager Groove, a powerhouse octet that produces an energized big band sound with the intimacy and individuality of a small group. Rager’s drumming reflects his early influences: the power of Krupa, the technique of Rich, the dynamics of Bellson, and the musicality of Roach. To these, Rager adds his own innovative concepts and strengths, thus creating a percussive punch that’s unique – and his alone. Enjoy pulse-pounding performances from the songbooks of Monk and Nestico, along with a few Rager originals.
