Tyshawn Sorey

2011 Rhapsody Jazz Critics Poll Record of the Year #17

“Sorey’s drums act as flexible fulcrum, parsing time signatures one moment, pivoting to floating pulse patterns the next. That kind of power and versatility wedded to precision recalls drummers like Paul Motian and Hamid Drake, though any semblance of slavish imitation is completely out of Sorey’s scope.” — Dusted reviews
