"Sounds of a Starr"
Modern Jazz
Lee Fish is one of my favorites — inventive, tasteful, and exciting — a creative force to watch for on the instrument” – Terri Lyne Carrington
Acclaimed Boston-born drummer and composer Lee Fish has been part of the thriving Brooklyn music scene since 2018. A fixture at Wally’s Cafe during his student tenure at Berklee — playing with such distinctive leaders as Jason Palmer, Esperanza Spalding, Nadia Washington, and Evgeny Lebedev — Fish became a highly sought collaborator in Boston, who’s now flexing his breadth as a leader in New York City.
In the studio and on the bandstand, Fish has enjoyed artistic associations with a range of icons, including Danilo Perez, Warren Wolf, Gary Burton, Julian Lage, John Ellis, David Gilmore and Ryan Scott, among others. Fish’s artistry allows energy to inform his choices on the bandstand. His aesthetic reflects joyful confrontation. He seeks to challenge traditional constructs, mingle genres, and push the music in soulful new directions, always inviting the listener along for the ride. According to DownBeat’s critic Matthew Kessel, Fish’s “funky rhythms bring to mind a New Orleans snare player.”
This event is co-hosted with Celebrity Series of Boston, Neighborhood Arts
