Chuck Braman performing at Sweet Rhythm, West Village, NYC, 2008

My name is Chuck Braman. I’ve been a jazz drummer/bandleader in New York City for over three decades. My passion is playing great music with great musicians. My forte is developing great bands with unique personnels, repertoires and styles. My sidemen are world-class artists who regularly perform at New York’s top jazz venues, such as Smalls, Blue Note, Birdland, The Village Vanguard, and Jazz at Lincoln Center.
