Jazz drumming legend Roy Haynes gave his then 10-year-old grandson, Marcus Gilmore, one of his natural-finish Ludwig drumsets. From that auspicious beginning, Gilmore went on to graduate from Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, the Juilliard School and Manhattan School of Music. Touring professionally since the age of 16, Gilmore has performed with some of today’s best-known contemporary jazz artists, including Chick Corea, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Nicholas Payton, Steve Coleman, Vijay Iyer and Ambrose Akinmusire.
