Music from Billy Kilson's BK Groove


Rhythm Dancer


Rhythm Dancer is a DVD of Billy Kilson performing in concert with his band, BK Groove (Steve Wilson, Henry Hey, Kenny Davis). Fans who have enjoyed Billy's jaw dropping sideman performances will not be disappointed as Billy takes center stage, performing his music. All of the band members are also artists, so the performances are top notch. It's funk, fusion and jazz.

As a bonus track, there is also a 25 minute in-depth interview with Drummer Café's Bart Elliott. Billy discusses advice to getting started in drumming, developing diversity, studying with Alan Dawson, touring with Ahmad Jamal and creating his "Billy-isms!"

Also included is a companion CD included in this package, so you are not limited to watching the DVD in order to listen to the music. The CD contains most of the songs from the DVD plus a couple of different tunes.

Pots & Pans


Pots & Pans is Billy Kilson's BK Groove's second release and features Billy Kilson (drums), Kenny Davis (bass), George Colligan (keyboards) and Mike Sim (saxophone). Pots & Pans begin with four short "groovements" which serve as a prelude to this jazz funk fusion adventure. Jazz Times says "this [BK Groove] ain't pretty-boy jazz your grandma smiles to." All About Jazz called it "...a great jazz/rock fusion piece that demonstrates the versatility of the group and their ability to explode in an array of awesome rock-inspired notes and progressive jazz elements." Jazz Improv proclaimed: "Rhythmically influenced by rock styles, these musicians have just as much chops-on display at every opportunity - as the most 'sophisticated' jazzers?BK's groove is one that will grab hold of you, no matter what your musical inclinations?Pots and Pans explores familiar territory with a fresh approach and incomparable musicality. Fans of fusion should definitely discover Billy Kilson's BK Groove."
