Simpson/Speed/Bryan/Cunningham

Jeremy Cunningham is a drummer, composer, and improviser living in Chicago, Illinois. Since moving to Chicago in 2009 - from his native home of Cincinnati, Ohio - he has become an integral part of the Chicago music scene. Jeremy has performed with such luminaries as Von Freeman, Chris Foreman, Jeff Parker, Marquis Hill, Greg Ward, Caroline Davis, and Nick Mazzarella. He can be heard on Marquis Hill's albums, "New Gospel," and "Sounds of the City," and also on Caroline Davis's "Live, Work, Play.” His most recent release “re:dawn (from far)” received an Honorable Mention in the LA Times Best Jazz of 2016.

Current projects include a collaborative trio with Nick Mazzarella and Matt Ulery named the “Meridian Trio”, and his own quartet featuring Jeff Parker, Josh Johnson, and Paul Bryan.

For this performance, Cunningham will be collaborating with cohorts Paul Bryan (Jeff Parker’s New Breed) and recent Monk Institute transplant Lenard Simpson. They will be joined by special guest Chris Speed.
