                                            Andrew Dickeson

                                            Resume

                                            Andrew Dickeson is one of Australia’s leading jazz drummers. His playing is informed by the history and tradition of the jazz movement; his respect and love for this history is immediately apparent, his knowledge of it is second to none.

                                            In 1991 he went to New York and commenced studies with jazz masters Art Taylor and Vernel Fournier. He performed with a variety of musicians during his time in New York City.

                                            In 1992 he was the only non-American finalist in the prestigious Thelonious Monk Institute International Jazz Drums Competition – judged by Roy Haynes, Jack DeJohnette, Alan Dawson, Ed Shaughnessy, Jeff “Tain” Watts and Dave Weckl.

                                            Since his return to Australia Andrew continues to perform regularly with the cream of Australia’s jazz musicians as well as a great many visiting overseas artists. He also has a busy schedule of overseas performances. His recent performances include New York, Europe, Brazil, Laos and Singapore.

                                            As well as performing, Andrew has a passionate interest in music education. He is the lecturer in Jazz Drums at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. His list of former and current students comprises the majority of the young, happening drummers on the Sydney scene. He is also involved in school and private tuition, clinics and workshops and as a visiting “artist in residence” for various institutions.
