| TO HIRE DYLAN HOWE FOR A SESSION OR LIVE PERFORMANCE - EMAIL: dylan.howe@yahoo.co.uk (Photo by Yami Hara) Welcome to the "Dylan Howe Drums" page This is a page mainly for my pop/rock session/sideman stuff FOR MY GROUPS & JAZZ DRUMS PLEASE GO TO: www.myspace.com/dylanhowe www.myspace.com/dylanhoweandthe subterraneans "Dylan has been performing and writing for over two decades, and has a CV of near unsurpassed and eclectic 'who's who' to just about catalogue and contain it. Having spent the past four powering his quintet - a likely young bunch of improvising impresarios - who are collectively renowned for their fiery sets, groundbreaking compositions and a new take on the Blue Note-esque sensibility - with critical acclaim stacked on DH's four albums and nationwide tours to boot - this new project is his boldest and most imaginative yet. Mostly self-taught, and having picked up the sticks to jam with his dad Yes guitarist Steve Howe in 1979, Dylan has been particularly influenced by Roy Haynes, Elvin Jones, Stewart Copeland, John Bonham and the music of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Igor Stravinsky, David Bowie and the Muppets. Dylan has collaborated with the likes of Nick Cave, Damon Albarn, Portishead, Ian Dury and The Blockheads, Stan Sulzmann, Ray Davies, Sir Paul McCartney and Courtney Pine to name but a few that should be named. An active member of The Blockheads for over 10 years as well as the Steve Howe Trio and a kind of neo-veteran to studios and concert halls un-alike, this year sees the evolution of one of the countries most interesting musicians and of course, drummers Dylan Howe. "A superb player" THE OBSERVER "Swings like an old veteran" MODERN DRUMMER "Dylan Howe makes it new. The way he plays it, it's as if Be-bop were still hot and wet from it's Harlem womb. Dylan Howe, he plays time from the heart." ROBERT WYATT "Howe, Inspiring and invigorating in any genre " THE GUARDIAN "Dylan Howe simply does all the right things" MUSICIAN MAGAZINE “A looseness reminiscent of Miles's 1960s ensemble. He (DH) knows exactly how the dynamics and drama of this idiom are supposed to work, and he proves himself to be a sophisticated composer of slow tone-poetry.” John Fordham THE GUARDIAN "You funky bastard" Ian Dury "The best new young drummer to emerge since Phil Collins or Stewart Copeland." YESWORLD “Howe swings effortlessly” **** DRUMMER MAGAZINE Some of the people I've played with: IAN DURY & THE BLOCKHEADS PAUL McCARTNEY PORTISHEAD BETH GIBBONS ROBERT WYATT DAMON ALBARN DAVE GILMOUR STVE HOWE NICK CAVE SHANE MCGOWAN RAY DAVIES HUGH CORNWELL STEVE HARLEY GLEN TILBROOK SUGGS GREEN GARSIDE PAUL YOUNG CURTIS STIGERS TOM JONES BAXTER DURY LEWIS TAYLOR HIJACK EDWIN STARR SAM MOORE BEN E KING RUBY TURNER MARTHA REEVES SAM BROWN P.P ARNOLD SINEAD O’CONNOR JANE MONHEIT GREEN GARSIDE (Scritti Politti) SEAL LEON WARE GABRIELLE CHAKA KHAN LIGHTNING SEEDS PINO PALLADINO TONY LEVIN GREG PHILLINGANES BOBBY WOMACK C4's LIGHT LUNCH PRODUCERS: TREVOR HORN / JOHN LECKIE / LAURIE LATHAM / ANDY WRIGHT / BIFF STANNARD & JULIAN GALLAGHER / PAUL O'DUFFY / NIGEL GODRICH / JOHN CORNWELL / KARL WALLINGER / JOHN BROUGH / STEVE POWER / GUY CHAMBERS I really like the drums & drummers that to me, wrote the book: the studio and live players of the 60's & 70's.
