TIPPIN' RECORDS DISCOGRAPHY

 Common Man

 TIP1101 Released September 7, 2004 

 The release of Common Man marked the recording debut of Pete Zimmer on which he takes his

 place as a member of the small but select group of straight ahead jazz drummer/leaders.

 Following in the tradition of some of his most influential drummers, Art Blakey, Max Roach, Art

 Taylor and Roy Haynes, Zimmer leads a quintet that plays moving music for the people, but

 unlike his predecessors, the young drummer didn�t leave the majority of composing duties to his

 talented sideman.  Zimmer wrote six of the nine titles on this impressive disc, demonstrating that

 he is one of the most talented composers to ever sit behind a drum kit.
