A versatile and explosive drummer, befitting of his nickname, Mike Flythe “The Atomic Drummer” is a Queens native with deep musical roots. A first cousin of Duke Ellington, Flythe played a role in the legendary Tom Browne track “Funkin for Jamaica” and Bernard Wright’s 1981 debut album ’Nard. Flythe has appeared on famous stages from Minton’s in Harlem to Blues Alley in Washington, D.C, as well as in Italy and Japan. His Atomic Band is a reliably fun and upbeat ensemble.

Presented by the Jazz Foundation of America, supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and by the Howard Gilman Foundation.
