Bobby Commodore

He began his career with the Grammy Award winning group The Sounds of Blackness with whom he toured the United States and recorded several albums. He met his wife, vocalist Ginger Commodore while completing a 20-year tenure with the group.

Bobby first made his mark in the world of Gospel playing and recording with the Steele Family, Sam Davis Gospel Ensemble, Rance Majestic Choir, Sabathani (Macedonia) Baptist amongst others.

Then, taking the plunge into the world of Jazz, Bobby was offered a job drumming with the local jazz ensemble Moore By Four (MB4), which lead to a 12-year affiliation as drummer and business manager. With ‘MB4’, Bobby played to sold-out houses across the Midwest, toured the world playing at prestigious Jazz Festivals and appeared on several PBS specials featuring the ensemble. His varied background has led Bobby to perform on all the Twin Cities major stages including the Guthrie Theatre, Orchestra Hall, The Ordway Center for the Performing Arts and The Fitzgerald Theater.

Bobby continues to refine his skills while serving as Musical Director for Ginger Commodore & GCQ.
