Described by Rolling Stone magazine as “one of the best, robust listening experiences you’re likely to have all year” and by The Independent as “the best in jazz coming out of Ireland today”, David Lyttle is a MOBO Award nominated jazz drummer and composer. He first reached a national audience as a jazz drummer in the band of legendary Irish jazz guitarist Louis Stewart, before going on to perform around the globe and collaborate with the arts world’s upper echelon, including jazz giants Joe Lovano and Kurt Rosenwinkel, hip hop visionaries Talib Kweli and Soweto Kinch and film great Liam Neeson. David has brought his unique performance concepts to the U.S., where he carried out a coast-to-coast residency in his red Cadillac DeVille, performing jazz for cowboys, UFO tourists, bikers and the unsuspecting public; and China where he spent six weeks as the British Council’s Musician In Residence and made a further two visits with his solo ‘Tapes & Drums’. He has performed in the groups of jazz icons of today such as David Kikoski and Jesse van Ruller, and his work has been written about in Rolling Stone, The Guardian, The Times, The Independent and The Examiner.
