I recently sat down with my former bandmate and friend, Jay Mumford. Jay’s career as a session and touring drummer has paired him with artists across multiple genres. From Hermanos Gutierrez, to Danger Mouse; Lulu Lewis; Adrian Quesada; Vampire Weekend; Just Blaze; Dan Auerbach; Greyhounds; Madlib; Michael Kiwanuka and many more. He’s also co-founder and shares producer and songwriter duties with Pablo Martin (my partner) for their funk outfit, The Du-Rites. Jay is on tour with Adrian Quesada with dates in August and September and played on Quesada’s Boleros Psicodelicos 2, which dropped June 27th on ATO Records. There’s a new EP (Tenement) from The Du-Rites dropping this fall and he’s back in the studio with Amsterdam-based keyboardist, producer and arranger, Soul Supreme, working on new material. I recommend heading over to his Instagram, @jaymumfordmusic to stay in the loop. ICYDNK: Dylan Hundley is an artist & performer.
