Jazz Painting: Commissioned Portrait of Laurie Palmer on Drums
The jazz drummer is usually obscured back stage behind the trumpets, trombones and saxophones, yet he sets the beat for the band. But playing with Burt Butler’s Jazz Pilgrims harbourside in Ramsgate, Kent, during the 2011 Seaside Shuffle Traditional Jazz Festival, Laurie Palmer starred front stage, his drum kit on full display. Watch out for Laurie with Burt’s band on Ramsgate Harbour Parade again on Sunday, 8th July (11.00am till 1.30pm) during this year’s
Ramsgate Seaside Shuffle Festival.
