LA based drummer Charles Ruggiero is highly respected artist with 7 albums as a leader to his credit and many years of touring the globe with some of the planet's finest. His style, at once elegant and devastatingly powerful, is a sound all it's own. Uniquely original, fiercely swinging, entertaining and empathetic at heart, Charles is a highly sought after drummer for those seeking the "real deal". Mr Ruggiero presents an all-star group of NYC veteran jazz masters at this one-off show at Uncle Cheef! We don't get the pleasure of his company often, so this is an important one not to be missed.
