Greg Hutchinson is one of the most highly regarded drummers of his generation, known for his deep swing, versatility, and unmistakable feel. Since launching his professional career in the late 1980s, he has performed and recorded with jazz greats including Roy Hargrove, Betty Carter, Joshua Redman, Dianne Reeves, John Scofield, and Ray Brown. Equally fluent in bebop, modern jazz, neo-soul, and hip-hop-infused grooves, Hutchinson has appeared on more than 150 recordings and remains an in-demand collaborator on stages and in studios worldwide.
His playing blends tradition with modern innovation, making him a defining rhythmic voice in contemporary music. "Kind of Now – The Pulse of Miles Davis" is Gregory Hutchinson’s bold, soulful reimagining of the rhythmic legacy behind Miles Davis. Rather than revisiting the past during this anniversary year, Hutchinson and his all-star ensemble channel the spirit of innovation and dialogue that defined Miles’ greatest bands.
The project moves fluidly between swing, groove, and abstraction – a deep, modern conversation built on the pulse that Miles’ drummers once drove. With its lush harmonies, fearless improvisation, and Hutchinson’s signature rhythmic clarity, "Kind of Now" feels at once timeless and alive – a living heartbeat of jazz that connects the then and the now. For this project, Hutchinson has joined forces with an incredibly talented band: Milena Casado, Seamus Blake, Aaron Parks and Jason Weaver complete the line-up.
