Perhaps best known for his recordings with pianist Bill Evans in the final years of his life, drummer Joe La Barbera’s energetic touch and masterful soloing has established him as not only a giant in, but a living master of the music. Over the course of his career, Joe La Barbera has been the choice drummer for jazz greats Woody Herman, Tony Bennett, Chuck Mangione and Joe Farrell among several others. Today, he remains one of the most in-demand drummers on the west coast, and is a regular on the Sam First stage.
