 Max Weinberg's Big Band

 November 4th at 8PM

ASBURY PARK, N.J., Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Max Weinberg builds upon his 
celebrated career with The Max Weinberg Big Band tour in October and early 
November of 2010.

Bruce Springsteen's long-time E Street Band drummer and the leader for 17 years 
of what Tom Shales of the Washington Post has called "...the best band in late 
night television," leads a muscular, swinging 15-piece big band that continues 
the traditions established by Max's musical heroes including Frank Sinatra, 
Count Basie, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Doc Severinsen, and Maynard Ferguson. 

The band is comprised of a three-piece rhythm section - piano, bass and drums - 
and a horn section consisting of five saxophones, four trumpets and three 
trombones.  Recent concerts this summer include performances at Count Basie 
Theater and the Newport Beach Summer Jazz Series.

An intuitive drummer with powerful yet controlled playing, Weinberg has 
showcased his talent with Springsteen and the E Street Band for 36 years.  In 
addition, he has performed with Paul McCartney, Tony Bennett, B.B. King, Sting, 
Tom Jones, Ringo Starr (on Ringo's drums!), Bob Dylan, Chuck Berry, and Little 
Richard - and even Isaac Hayes in a rousing version of "Shaft."  He is a past 
winner of Playboy's Pop and Jazz Music Poll as Best Drummer, as well as Rolling 
Stone Magazine's Critics Poll as Best Drummer.

Complementing his legendary musical career, he authored "The Big Beat:  
Conversations with Rock's Great Drummers," making an important contribution to 
rock literature.  The book is a compilation of a series of interviews he 
conducted over two years with his favorite drummers from different eras 
including Ringo Starr, Charlie Watts of The Rolling Stones, Levon Helm, and 
Elvis' original, longtime drummer D.J. Fontana.
