If there are drums being played at a jazz or improvised music show in the Boston area, there's a good chance it's Luther Gray on the chair. Luther currently plays in bands lead by folks like Jerry Bergonzi, Jim Hobbs, Daniel Rosenthal and too many others to name. He recently released a new record with his ensemble Lawnmower and a trio record called 'Horns and Drums' with Jim Hobbs and Allan Chase. Luther played an electrifying JATGR show in May with Hobbs and Timo Shanko.
