George Schuller: Jazz Musician in New York

About George Schuller

George Schuller is a jazz drummer whose work moves between straight-ahead swing and open-ended free improvisation. The son of composer Gunther Schuller, he carries a musician’s grounding in structure while staying alert to rupture and surprise. In New York City he appears at Bar Bayeux, including sets with guitarist Steve Cardenas alongside Adam Kolker and Jeremy Stratton. His playing tends to favor momentum and detail over display, using the kit as a quiet engine for the band.
