Music Night at Bogies | The BBB Featuring Bernie Dresel (cover $20 | cash only)

7:00 pm
April 23, 2017

The BBB Featuring Bernie Dresel is without question one of Los Angeles' most exciting large jazz ensembles, if not on the planet. It is one of the most innovative and original hard-swinging large jazz ensembles ever. The BBB provides potent testimony to the sheer exhilaration of big band jazz...a combination of intense swing and fiery soloing, as well as tight ensemble playing, powered by Bernie Dresel's extraordinary drumming talents.

This exciting big band delivers a contemporary, highly original sound featuring the witty, intricate, and hard-swinging compositions of established and up-and-coming composers and arrangers. And like those other famous jazz orchestras such as Buddy Rich's, Count Basie's, Woody Herman's, Stan Kenton's, Maynard Ferguson's, Thad Jones/Mel Lewis' and Gerald Wilson's, the music and delivery of The BBB's music is nothing less than astonishing when experienced live. The sound has a contemporary, dynamic, and hard-swinging energy, with a focused edge to it that is like no other jazz orchestra, though, reminiscent of the great drummer-lead bands of the past. The band make-up is unique in that there is no piano but jazz/rockin' electric guitar instead, in addition to four trumpets, four trombones, five saxophones, and upright acoustic bass and drums. When people hear Bernie's band, the first thing that hits them is its energy and intensity.

At the helm of The BBB is jazz drummer extraordinaire Bernie Dresel. Bernie is the first-call drummer and percussionist on the Hollywood stage for motion picture and television soundtracks. Dresel's rendering style is nothing less than exciting, driven by one of the most accomplished jazz drummers in the world.

Prior to forming his own big band, Bernie Dresel has been one of the busiest studio and live musicians in the world as both a drummer and percussionist since moving to Los Angeles in 1983 after graduating from the prestigious Eastman School of Music. He has traveled the world, occupying the coveted drum chair for Grammy Award-winning Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band since its inception in 1999. And also, for an overlapping 15 years (1992 to 2006), he was the drummer for the multi-Grammy Award-winning Brian Setzer Orchestra, selling close to 4 million records. Modern Drummer magazine's readers' poll named Bernie "Best Big Band Drummer" and Drum! Magazine has put him on their list of "53 Drummers Who Made a Difference in the '90s" as well as honoring him with a Drummie® for Best Big Band Drummer..

Their new record Live N' Bernin' is available at this show and online at iTunes, CDBaby, and Amazon.
