Jim Pugliese is a drummer, percussionist, composer and international recording artist on over 80 CD’s of experimental, World, Jazz and Rock music. Jim’s performing experience is diverse. As a freelance percussionist he is in much demand and has performed with The New York Philharmonic Horizon Series (guest artist), New York City Ballet and soloist or performer on numerous new music and jazz festivals in Europe, Japan and the USA.

His newest projects “Phase III” and” Italian Doc Remix” are a continuation of his ongoing quest to combine his diverse performing experiences into a single new sound with its base in rhythm and to further enhance cultural exchange through music. His music skirts and shifts along the edges of free improvisation and deep groove. The music reflects Jim’s ongoing quest to explore the powerful, enlightening and spiritual secrets of drumming and is inspired by his recent association and work with Nii Tettey Tetteh, master musician from Ghana, with Milford Graves, learning drumming and healing through the heartbeat and his study of the spiritual songs of the Mbira Dzavadzimu from Zimbabwe.
