Kassa Overall
Kassa Overall is an American jazz drummer, producer, rapper and bandleader whose work brings jazz improvisation into contact with hip-hop production. Originally from Seattle, he moved to New York City in 2006 and studied at Oberlin Conservatory of Music with drummers Billy Hart, among others.
Overall toured with pianist Geri Allen after working under the mentorship of trumpeter Wallace Roney, and spent five years in Allen’s Timeline band. He also worked for around a decade with trumpeter Theo Croker, co-producing Croker’s Escape Velocity, and served as DJ for Jon Batiste and Stay Human, the house band for The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. His collaborators have included Vijay Iyer, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Yoko Ono, Marc Ribot and Ravi Coltrane.
He self-released his debut album, Go Get Ice Cream and Listen to Jazz, in 2019, followed by I THINK I’M GOOD on Brownswood Recordings in 2020. He later released the jazz-remix projects Shades of Flu and Shades of Flu 2.
