One of the great things about living in Alexandria, VA is the breadth of fascinating people residing here. I met Ian at one of my favorite coffee shops in town. They always have good music playing- usually jazz. I think we started talking about something that was playing on the sound system and I soon found out that he was a jazz drummer (who studied with the great Billy Hart, no less), composer, and multi-instrumentalist.
Ian’s music is intense, beautiful, and deeply layered. His journey in this art form is just as unique. After the interview, be sure to click on the links at the bottom of the page to hear samples of his work!
