As the winner of the Detroit Jazz Festival’s 2017 JC Heard National Drum Competition, Zach Adleman impressed all! Beyond his notable craftsmanship, he brings a fresh and creative approach to the drums that puts him on a trajectory to be, that most illusive of artist, an identifiable unique voice in this music.
