Kyle Poole

Hailed by Jazz Speaks as a “young prodigious drummer,” Los Angeles native Kyle Poole has lived in New York City since 2011 and continues to impress wherever his drums take him next. Along with his band of fellow NYC jazz upstarts aptly titled Poole & the Gang, he has performed in New York’s most esteemed jazz clubs, notably Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola and Smoke Jazz, culminating in a weekly residency at Small’s Jazz Club that lasted nearly three years. One of Poole’s chief missions, is to expand the audience for jazz by incorporating all dance styles of music, reaching back to ragtime and bebop, while forging ahead to funk and hip-hop and beyond. With its constant fluctuation of genre, rhythm, and harmony, Poole & the Gang connects these musical dots in a uniquely improvised fashion, while audiences worldwide are delighted to simply “go with the flow.”
