Dennis Bulhões: Jazz Musician in New York

About Dennis Bulhões

Dennis Bulhões is a jazz drummer heard on New York City stages, including Barbès. He appears with bassist-composer Michael LaValle’s project LAVALLE alongside vibraphonist James Shipp and pianist Danny Fox, working inside groove-driven forms and open harmonic frameworks. Bulhões plays a supporting role that keeps the ensemble’s improvisation organized, shaping transitions and dynamics rather than foregrounding display. His approach favors timekeeping with detail, letting the written material and the room’s energy steer the direction.
