Nazir Ebo
Clearly talented, he attended the Philadelphia Clef Club as a way to practice the drums and learn to be comfortable in front of others. Since then he has performed at Chris's Jazz Café, The LaRose Jazz Club special Friday Session, the West Oak Lane Jazz Festival, Cape May Jazz Festivals, The Firehouse Café, the James Michener Museum, South Restaurant and several others.
Most recently he went into the studio to record with noted bassist, Jamaaladeen Tacuma; presented a workshop at the Central Friends of PA Summer Camp; performed with Play on Philly’s guest educator, Wynton Marsalis; perform for dignitaries at City Hall during Jazz Appreciation Month, and fronts his own band on the Community Unity Music Festival (co-founded by his mother Carol and brother, Justin Faulkner). This endeavor assists inner city youth with instruments and lessons.
When not performing, Nazir can be found in the halls of Girard Academy Music Program (GAMP) attending class, playing the bass (electric and upright) the marimba and checking out the scene, musically!
