In seven-plus decades of listening to jazz and great music — knowing Max Roach, Buddy Rich, Billy Higgins, Louis Bellson, Alex Acuna,
Joe LaBarbera, Roy McCurdy and other world class percussionists—
I can attest to the singular fact that Henry Cole is among those elite magicians. The unrivaled complexity of his multi-layered rhythmic drive is astonishing in its intricacy, allure and stunning percussive coherence.
— Jim Merod (BluePort Jazz & Soka University)
Henry Cole’s seminars presents amazing displays of technique and musicality with the unique ability of getting others to see their personal experience as valid.
