Justin Faulkner, who played with the Mimi Jones band last night at CFAC, and who is currently a member of the Branford Marsalis Quartet, is DWA: a drummer with attitude. This young cat is definitely one to watch. And don’t let his urbane fashion sense fool you, Faulkner can roll up his sleeves, work those sticks and funk you right out of your chair.
We would love to see him return to Central New York very soon (maybe even with Marsalis, Revis and Calderazzo).
