Keith Evan Green
musical, creative drumming
A B O U T
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, Green played drums throughout the
NYC-metro area with a band led by Larry Ferrara,
pianist and 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), often featuring
jazz vocalist Diana Leigh (website here; flier here),
and Frank Campos, trumpet. Green also performs
with legendary saxophonist/reedist Bill Easley and,
on occasion, wtih guitarists Dennis Winge and
Dave Richman.
Keith Evan Green is an endorser of CANOPUS drums.
