Geoff Clapp Trio featuring Jeff Coffin and Brook Sutton

Geoff Clapp is a one of a kind drummer who's feel and style are only matched by his kind and generous spirit. He plays what he describes as a mix of the "heady New York and soulful New Orleans" drum styles. Geoff is a true artistic rarity in progress.

He has played and toured with some heavies, including Donald Harrison, Terence Blanchard, Ellis Marsalis, Wynton Marsalis, Jason Marsalis (vibes), Peter Martin, Reuben Rogers, Peter Bernstein, Aaron Goldberg, Frank Morgan, Ron Blake (SNL), Eric Reed, Charlie Hunter, Delfeayo Marsalis and the Uptown Jazz Orchestra, LOUQUE, James Tealy, Jamil Sharif, Wess "Warm Daddy" Anderson, Matt Ray Trio, Jermey Pelt, Evan Christopher, Petr Cancura, Sam Fribush Trio, and Wycliffe Gordon.

Geoff was also active with Wynton Marsalis' Lincoln Center educational programs in the five boroughs of NYC, as well as with Melissa Walker's Jazz House Kids with Christian McBride workshops in the NJ inner city school system. To this day, Geoff continues to tour, educate and record his musical gifts and its ability to reach deeper into our consciousness to facilitate emotional, mental, and spiritual expansion.

"The music of Geoff Clapp and his virtuoso collaborators is a joyful and uplifting testimony." - Brian Blade

"Mr. Clapp has been a joy to work and tour with along the years. He also is one of the finest Brush players I've ever heard and a true master of his craft." - Ellis Marsalis

"Geoff Clapp is a great musician and no doubt one of the most sensitive, grooving, and musical drummers on the scene today. I have played with him in several situations and he always brings a great knowledge of the music and an understanding of what is needed and his own personal style. I played with Geoff when he was the leader, on his own record, and some where he was a sideman and every time he brought the perfect balance of creativity and empathy towards the other musicians. It takes great skill and an evolved sense of identity to be the kind of musician Geoff is." - Pete Bernstein

"Music is the eternal inspirer and healer to the people. I'm honored and grateful for my God given gifts that have led me on my life's journey." - Geoff Clapp
