Drumheller is a quintet of jazz composer/performers who have worked together since 2003. The group's music is jazz, drawing from its entire tradition (from traditional to avant-garde) and also drawing from their own diverse experiences in free improvisation, folk, notated music, punk and groove music. Drumheller embraces collective and solo improvisation strategies, with compositions that range from short sketches used as jumping off points for free improvisation, to through-composed pieces. As a collective of individual composers, the quintet strives to address the requirements of each composition, while creating a unified vision of what Drumheller's music is.
