About Marcus Gilmore
Artist Biography
Marcus Gilmore is an award-winning American jazz drummer, composer, bandleader, and educator. The grandson of legendary jazz drummer Roy Haynes, he is a sensitive, melodic player, influenced equally by Tony Williams and Milford Graves and in percussion traditions across the globe. His approach weds nuanced grooves and expanding rhythms to waves of improvisation. Gilmore has amassed many credits and worked with Vijay Iyer while concurrently playing with guitarists Gilad Hekselman and Lage Lund. He spent several years with Chick Corea, netting four acclaimed albums, among them 2013's Latin Grammy-winning The Vigil. In 2018, he joined In Common alongside Walter Smith III, Matthew Stevens, Joel Ross, and Harish Raghavan, and they issued an acclaimed eponymous album. In 2023, Gilmore, pianist Jason Moran, and electronicist BlankFor.Ms released the experimental Refract, which he followed with the lush jazz ballad "For Loved Ones," leading a quartet with Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, David Virelles, and Burniss Travis.
