| BIO |
Percussionist Richie Barshay, most noted
as a member of the Herbie Hancock Quartet since
2003, has established himself as a prominent
musical voice of his generation. Regarded as "a
player to watch" by JazzTimes magazine, he
maintains a busy international touring schedule
with some of today's top artists including
Hancock, The Klezmatics, Kenny Werner, and many
others. In September of 2004 he was named an
American Musical Envoy by the U.S. State
Department, along with the renowned Latin-Jazz
ensemble Insight. Now based in New York City after
5 years on the Boston music scene, Richie began
playing Jazz and Afro-Latin music during his youth
and has expanded his focus to Indian rhythmic
concepts and tabla, inspiring his 2005 recording
debut "Homework" and the launching of his new
band, The Richie Barshay Project.(FULL

"Barshay, a player to watch, seemed to do
all the right things this night, mixing subtlety
and heat in the right measure."
- Josef Woodard, JazzTimes
.
"He is one of those players who just needs to
breathe on his drum kit to set up a rhythm. His
light touch, incorporating tablas, electronic
percussion and crisp-sounding cymbals, ensured
that there was always an interesting pulse."
- Rob Adams, The Herald, Edinburgh, Scotland
.
"All the right stuff, so we have hope...continues
to impress us all with his swing and musicality. "
- Bob Brookmeyer
.
"…Barshay, a teenaged drummer from Connecticut
[age 19 at date of print]…is the reincarnation
of Tony Williams when he joined Miles Davis's band
in the '60s."
- Eugene Holley Jr., JazzUSA.com
.
"percussion prodigy "
- Kimberly O'Haver, The Moscow Times
.
"...a show-stopping drummer."
- Owen McNally, The Hartford Courant
.
"...young drum phenom"
- Jim Newsom, Portfolio Weekly, Norfolk, Virginia
