About this Event
EC3
EC3 is a world-renowned Drummer, Percussionist, Clinician, Educator, Producer and Arranger. EC3 is the youngest Musician to graduate from The Naval School of Music. After graduating he moved to Las Vegas and began working shows and breaking his way in to the Jazz scene. There he joined Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett’s Jazz Pianist, Vincent Falcone. Shortly thereafter, EC3 became the “first call’ Drummer on the Vegas Scene.
EC3 was hired as Musical Director for many acts, performing in Vegas and all over the world. EC3 also performed with The Las Vegas Symphony Orchestra, the Caesars Palace Orchestra, Harrah’s Reno and Tahoe Orchestras. EC3 went on to develop the rare quality of “conducting from behind the drums”. EC3 has performed with some of the greats like Jay Leno, Bill Cosby and Whoopi Goldberg.
EC3 also worked with jazz legends Kenny Burrell, Lorenzo Almedia, Joe Williams, Diahann Carroll, Vic Damone, John and Jeff Clayton, Niki Haris, Azar Lawrence, Russell Malone, Wycliffe Gordon and Gerald Albright. EC3 then got the call of a life time—to perform with Jazz Giant Bassist, Mr. Al McKibbon (from the Giants of Jazz with Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk). This relationship would grow into one of the best musical experiences EC3 could ever ask for. EC3 auditioned and got the part for the musical "The Bourbon Street Review". As his relationship grew with Al, they became like father and son as McKibbon took EC3 under his wing. The show ran for a few years and Al McKibbon asked EC3 to come to L.A. and work with his band. Of course, EC3 packed up and moved to Los Angeles and began working with the Al McKibbon quartet. He became a regular at The Twin Palms (owned by Actor Kevin Costner).
Shortly after that EC3 joined jazz great Mr. Billy Higgins and began studying with Billy and learning from one of the masters on drums. EC3 has recorded 10 phenomenal CDs as a producer and band leader. EC3 is also in high demand to teach master classes and clinics as well as students seeking private instruction.
