David Lee Jr. (January 4, 1941 – August 4, 2021) was an American jazz drummer and composer.

Early life

Lee was born in New Orleans on January 4, 1941.[1] He played professionally from his early teens, and was a member of bands in the United States Army.[1]

Career

In 1969, Lee co-founded the New Orleans Jazz Workshop.[1] Dizzy Gillespie brought Lee into his band in 1969; soon after he worked with Roy Ayers (1971) and Sonny Rollins (1972–1975).[1] Lee then formed a quartet and continued to work as a sideman.[1]

Ethan Iverson wrote that Lee in recordings by Rollins in the 1970s was "swinging hard in a traditional manner but also perfect for all the varied grooves embraced by '70's jazz".[2]

Personal life

He died on August 4, 2021.[3][2]
