Jimmy Weinstein

A restless and incredibly unstable post-bop and avant-garde drummer, Jimmy Weinstein does not have any issue embracing airy, even lilting post-bop melodies about a minute and dissonant “outdoors” improvisation another. A few of his tunes have been fairly left of middle, while others have already been quite melodic, congenial and available. Although given birth to in Chicago, Weinstein was raised in Southern California and Mallorca, Spain. After acquiring piano lessons as a kid, Weinstein became a drummer at age group 12. He performed in rock rings as a kid, but as period exceeded, he became even more jazz-oriented. In 1986, he relocated to Boston to review in the Berklee University of Music and analyzed privately with drummer Alan Dawson. Weinstein thought we would make Boston his long lasting home, and it had been on the College or university of Massachusetts that he researched with Utmost Roach. In the first 1990s, Weinstein founded a Boston-based quartet that included tenor saxman Don Houge, guitarist Elie Massias and bassist Masa Kamaguchi. Houge was changed by Chris Cheek in 1994. Weinstein’s CDs being a leader consist of 1994’s Nostalgia on Accurate and 1998’s Audio Feeling on Gunther Schuller’s GM label.
