drumsAbout
Ray Davies' songs are rooted in the blues, music hall, popular song, variety and musical theatre - the perfect vehicles for jazz interpretation. Ben Crosland began his musical education at the age of thirteen by taking up the drums and the Kinks' singles were constantly on the Dansette as he played along in his bedroom. 50 years on, as bandleader and composer/arranger, he is again discovering new subtleties and strengths in these wonderful compositions and has assembled a quintet of international quality to perform these imaginative arrangements.
