Drummer Dennis Mackrel has always been highly regarded by working musicians, yet undervalued by the jazz community as a whole. Mackrel is probably best known as the drummer hand-picked by <a href="spotify:artist:6tWRPRLzfmckBpyR8g4Nnw">Mel Lewis</a> in 1990 to take over duties in <a href="spotify:artist:5X6ELFlxtOjIwtiyj4ZHda">the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra</a> when <a href="spotify:artist:6tWRPRLzfmckBpyR8g4Nnw">Lewis</a> was unable to continue. This was not actually the first time he held an important chair in a high-profile band; in 1983, at 21 years of age, Mackrel joined <a href="spotify:artist:2jFZlvIea42ZvcCw4OeEdA">the Count Basie Orchestra</a>, a position which he held until 1987.
Mackrel has spent time recording and traveling with many large and small orchestras, including the Very Big Carla Bley Band, Slide Hampton & the Jazz Masters, <a href="spotify:artist:33d6KfIiLy2DZKZ3Ol4qXa">the Carnegie Hall Classic Jazz Orchestra</a>, the Toshiko Akiyoshi Big Band, Grover Mitchell & His Orchestra, the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra, and <a href="spotify:artist:6kMPr4X7C4LNE9V932N4WA">the American Jazz Orchestra</a>. In 1994, Mackrel appeared on <a href="spotify:artist:61bWkkCyCh1jSBmAKdC7sg">Maria Schneider</a>'s Grammy Award-winning recording Evanescence. ~ Dan Cross, Rovi
