"...fields of cumulative energy, clouds of feather-touch... like an oncoming storm." - Downbeat Magazine

Drummer, composer, and bandleader E.J. Strickland has toured, performed, and recorded with The Ravi Coltrane Quartet, The Marcus Strickland Quartet & Trio, The Russell Malone Quartet, and countless other world renowned artists, and currently leads his own bands The E.J. Strickland Quintet & The E.J. Strickland Project.

His style is one of versatility, drawing from multiple genres - Jazz, World Music, Hip-Hop, Afro-Cuban Music, etc.. His discography includes over 30 albums with various recording artists, as well as his debut album In This Day (2009)

“Far from a simple collection of tracks, In This Day is a unified and thoughtful work. The songs’ elegant trajectory creating a logical thematic progression…. Not purely a straight ahead drummer, Strickland distills a variety of styles to propel equally diverse compositional influences." - Ken Micallef, Downbeat Magazine
