Although heavily influenced by Jazz and R&B drumming greats of the 1950s and ’60s, his sound is unique; balanced, supportive, and interactive, with a driving energy that serves the music while leaving space for others to speak — he is an authoritative yet never intrusive player. His original ensembles have headlined major venues across Northern and Southern California including Blue Whale, Yoshi’s, The Fillmore Jazz Festival, Catalina’s Bar & Grille, and The Grape. To date he has released one album as a leader (Jacob Wendt Quartet, 2011) another as co-leader (Carter-White-Wendt, 2013) and collection of original compositions (Jacob Wendt Sextet: Live at the Blue Whale, 2020). His latest project, Silver Street, is a classic hardbop quintet in the spirit of Blue Note Records during the 1950’s & 60’s. The album features all original compositions influenced by jazz greats such as Horace Silver, Sonny Clark, Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter, and Hank Mobley. The album’s release date is set for Friday, October 18th, 2024.
