Gregor Beck
Drums.
Born in Ravensburg Gregor Beck switched from guitar to drums at age 17 and graduated from the Music Conservatory of Augsburg with degrees in music education and orchestra performance. His mentor Oscar Klein introduced him to the national and international jazz scene. Over the years he has played with stars such as Benny Waters, Milt Hinton, Georgie Fame, recorded countless CDs, and is regularly booked on All Star tours. His drum battles with Charlie Antolini, Pete York and others have drawn enthusiastic attention. Gregor is one of the most profiled drummers on the European jazz scene and his playing style reminds one of his great role models Sid Catlett, Jo Jones und Gene Krupa. In 1987 he became a member of the Allotria Jazz Band. For a few years now he is also touring with the Big Chris Barber Band on a regular basis.
