Jimmie Young

Arrived in NYC in 1959 drumming with Jazz Pianist Marian McPartland. First album recorded then with the Dixieland Band "The Salt City Six". Played in many of the "weekend big bands" finally joining the Kai Winding 4 Trombone Jazz group. Then a stint with vocalist Nancy Wilson opening for Lenny Bruce. Became the drummer for Broadway Show "Hair" from 1969-71. Records came after that show. The Main Ingredient's "Everybody Plays the Fool", Barry Manilow's "Mandy", Starland Vocal Band's "Afternoon Delight" Ashford and Simpson's "Found a Cure", Ben E. King's "Supernatural Thing", The Village People's "In The Navy", "Star Wars", and Frank Sinatra's New York, NY to name a few. . Then music for many TV shows, commercials and more Broadway shows followed. It's been a great career and now I'm learning to compose and arrange some new material With Logic Studio to be presented in the near future. A new exciting direction to explore! It's still fun! Playing drums and creating Music!!!
