Ray Drummond
Ray Drummond (born November 23, 1946 in Brookline, Massachusetts) is a jazz bassist and teacher. He also has an MBA from Stanford University, hence his linkage to the Stanford Jazz Workshop. He can be heard on hundreds of albums and co-leads The Drummonds with Renee Rosnes and (not related) Billy Drummond.[1]
Drummond has been a resident of Teaneck, New Jersey since 1980 with his wife, Susan, and his daughter, Maya.[2]
