Dylan Howe
UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYES OF HIS FATHER STEVE HOWE, BILL BRUFORD AND TUTOR BOB ARMSTRONG AND THE RECORDINGS OF FORWARD THINKING JAZZ & ROCK ARTISTS OF THE 60’S & 70’S, DYLAN LEARNED TO FIND HIS ‘DEEP POCKET’ & INDIVIDUAL PROPULSIVE FEEL – BLAZING A TRAIL FOR IMPROVISATION AND NEW INNOVATIONS ON THE DRUM SET.
FROM THE WEST END JAM SESSIONS OF THE LATE-NIGHT LONDON SCENE IN THE EARLY 90’S - HONING HIS CRAFT WITH THE PIVOTAL JAZZ ARTISTS OF THAT ERA - TO RECORDING AND TOURING WITH NOTABLE ROCK AND POP ARTISTS OF MANY GENERATIONS – DYLAN COULD BE SEEN AS A ‘NEO-VETERAN’ OF ARENAS, CONCERT HALLS AND JAZZ CLUBS ALIKE.
WITH OVER 20 YEARS OF RECORDING & TOURING CREDITS, SPANNING STYLES & EXPERIENCES NEAR & FAR, DH SEES HIMSELF AS STILL GROWING AND LOOKING TO NEW SOUNDS AND EXPRESSION IN THE FORMATION OF HIS HIGHLY ACCLAIMED QUINTET - HOWE’S EVOLUTION CONTINUES...
“ I FEEL REALLY LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO LIVE FROM WHAT I LOVE TO DO: BE CREATIVE, PLAY WITH GREAT MUSICIANS AND STILL CONNECT TO THE ESSENCE OF WHY I PICKED UP THE STICKS IN THE FIRST PLACE , AND BEING LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE AT THE CENTRE OF A GROUP LIKE THIS, BRINGING TOGETHER EVERYTHING IVE SEEN AND FELT ABOUT MUSIC SINCE I WAS VERY YOUNG... ..WHEN WE COMMUNICATE THE MESSAGE IS UNDERSTOOD."
