Tim Froncek

Yesterday, drummer Tim Froncek came and spent over an hour working with the band on their technique. He is the most respected drummer that resides in Michigan. He has performed with Woody Herman, Ray Brown, Randy Brecker, Christian McBride, Oliver Jones, Bud Shank, Bill Watrous, and many others. Voted 2004’s “Jazz Musician of the Year” by the West Michigan Jazz Society, he can be seen performing on the drums, directing big bands, giving clinics and lectures on jazz, and judging the many jazz festivals in the mid-west. We were honored to have such a presence in Black River, teaching the band the ins and outs of styling.

Thanks Tim!
