Willie Green Project

Willie Green III is a New Orleans drummer, composer, and bandleader whose music is rooted in the gospel tradition he absorbed growing up in LaPlace, Louisiana, and refined through years of study under jazz legend Herlin Riley at Loyola University. He served as drummer for Delfeayo Marsalis’ Uptown Jazz Orchestra and has performed alongside Ellis Marsalis and at festivals including Jazz Fest, French Quarter Fest, and the Manchester Jazz Festival in the UK. The Willie Green Project brings together some of the city’s most promising young jazz voices for a sound that is modern without losing its spiritual grounding.
