Keith Evan Green is a drummer and percussionist
based in Ithaca, New York. He plays music of all
styles, with a focus on small-group jazz.

Green studied drums, vibraphone, and many other
percussion instruments with Glenn Weber at the
New Jersey School of Percussion. He began his
university studies as a music major at Northwestern
University
's School of Music (Evanston, Illinois). In
his early years as percussionist, Green performed
in the New Jersey All-State Band and in the orchestra
of
Fairleigh Dickinson University (which, during his
association
, performed at Carnegie Hall).
At the same time, he played drums throughout the
NYC-metro area with a band led by
pianist Larry
Ferrara,
long-time director of music performance at
NYU.
Outside of New York, Green performed and
taught drums in Seattle and San Francisco.

While advancing a career as a Cornell University
professor
, Green performs with his jazz group,
Firefly Trio (videos below; flier here), which has
the pleasure of regularly supporting jazz vocalist
Diana Leigh (website here, flier here) and
legendary saxophonist/reedist Bill Easley. Green
also performs with groups led by guitarists
Dennis Winge
and Dave Richman.

Keith Evan Green is an endorser of CANOPUS drums.
