Aaron Kimmel

Aaron Kimmel is a New York drummer rooted in the swing and bebop tradition and a fixture in the city's straight-ahead jazz scene. A native of Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, he earned a Bachelor of Music from The Juilliard School, where he studied with Kenny Washington and Billy Drummond. He has anchored the bands of Ken Peplowski, Harry Allen, Eric Reed, and Ehud Asherie, and has worked with Benny Green, Terell Stafford, Toshiko Akiyoshi, and Jimmy Heath. A regular at Smalls and Dizzy's Club, he twice won the Outstanding Jazz Soloist award in DownBeat's Student Music Awards before settling in New York.
