' ************************************************** Drummer Billy Kilson has wowed audiences all over the world with his musicality as well as his breathtaking showmanship. Encouraged by fans who not only want to hear his music, but watch him perform, Billy assembled a stellar group of musicians (Kenny Davis - bass, Henry Hey - keys and Steve Wilson - sax) and recorded Rhythm Dancer, a live DVD / CD. Each band member is also an artist and they all brought original compositions as well as their unique interpretations and years of performance skills to this recording. The drum inspired set was custom built complete with mobiles of fluorescent painted drum sticks and a set of cymbals under the drum kit lit to resemble smoldering coals. The concert was filmed using five cameras including an over head jib so that every note was captured. The result is a high quality film of funk fusion with a solid groove, complicated rhythms and intricate jazz as well as jaw-dropping performances that only Billy Kilson can deliver.
