George's World 

A lifelong musical journey, discovering new ways to embody rhythm, improvisation, freedom, and deep listening through the drum set.

Drummer, Teacher, Author, Composer

George Marsh playing the drums

George Marsh has spent his life exploring new ways to embody rhythm, improvisation, Inner Drumming, and deep listening.

He has performed and recorded with Denny Zeitlin, the David Grisman Quintet, Jerry Garcia, John Abercrombie, Mose Allison, Joe Henderson, Terry Riley, Pauline Oliveros, Jennifer Wilsey, the Kronos Quartet, Mel Martin, and many others.

His work as a composer and collaborator draws from jazz, contemporary classical music, and open improvisation, creating frameworks for musical discovery and interaction.

George's book, Inner Drumming, uses carefully developed exercises to deepen inner awareness and encourage the flowering of freedom, creativity, and musical expression at the drum set.

George teaches at Sonoma State University, UC Santa Cruz, and privately in Santa Rosa, California.

There’s everything for me to love here; Jazzers that can rock and funk; a late 60s aesthetic; highly visual, smartly poetic, lightly ironic lyrics; an endearingly playful, experimental spirit. Read the full review at ukvibe.
