Milford Graves
Milford Graves (August 20, 1941 – February 12, 2021) was an American
jazz drummer,
percussionist, Professor Emeritus of Music, researcher/inventor, visual artist/sculptor,
gardener/
herbalist, and martial artist. Graves was noteworthy for his early
avant-garde contributions in the 1960s with
Paul Bley,
Albert Ayler, and the
New York Art Quartet, and is considered to be a
free jazz pioneer, liberating percussion from its timekeeping role. The composer and saxophonist
John Zorn referred to Graves as "basically a 20th-century shaman."
