Originally drawn to the drums by hearing marching bands in parades as a child, Steve Smith began studying the instrument in earnest with local teacher Bill Flanagan, who played in big bands in the swing era. Smith’s early inspirations were Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, and Kenny Clarke. After studying at Berklee College Of Music, Smith’s professional career began in 1974, with the Lin Biviano Big Band, before joining the band of violinist Jean-Luc Ponty. He subsequently joined the rock band Journey, recording several successful albums, but in 1985 Smith left to pursue his original passion, jazz. Smith maintained an extensive touring and recording career, both with his own outfit and with Mike Mainieri’s Steps Ahead, Stanley Clarke, Randy Brecke,r and the Buddy Rich Big Band.
