WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
ABOUT THE WAYNE HENDERSON EXPERIENCE
Bill Easley, saxophonist
A lot of drummers "keep time" which is an oxymoron. You can't keep time?
Wayne plays time!
John Colianni, jazz pianist
Wayne Henderson is well-known for his superior technique on drums, which he combines with a driving, infectious, rhythmic pulse. He's musically versatile, but still maintains an identifiable sound and style. A top rank player.
Laurie Dapice, vocalist
Tonight I went to hear colleague, bandleader and drummer Wayne Henderson. I have heard many drummers in my day but I was fascinated by his time, style and authentic percussive technique. He was well diversified in a variety of styles.
