Ronny Ferella
drummer/composer/improvisor
Based in Melbourne, for over 25 years Ronny has been performing, composing and teaching jazz related music in many and varied environments. His vast experiences have taken him to many parts of the world, performing at jazz festivals and clubs and as a student and teacher. A committed student of jazz and its history Ronny has developed his teaching around various folk traditions that have influenced jazz rhythm, and how and and why elements of these traditions influence today’s contemporary music.
Ronny is currently teaching at Melbourne University where he is working with jazz students teaching small ensemble studies, improvisation techniques and runs a lecture in jazz history/culture. He is currently a Musica Viva travelling artist with the ensemble I Hold The Lion’s Paw.
In summary, they are one of the more original jazz voices you will hear anywhere and this live recording should be sought out and enjoyed by anyone with a taste for jazz, that simply speaking, doesn't piss about. Wanker free zone. Craig N Pearce Drum Media Sydney
