Alvin Queen always at the top of this game, touring and
keeping up with the trends of keeping a prominent face in the industry. His new
website dons everything from his music catalogue, touring schedule, personal
photography and reflections of a stellar musical career.
“The Jazz Network Worldwide is proud to feature legendary
drummer Alvin Queen. He has been a mainstay with our network since its
inception in 2008 and we couldn’t be prouder to design and launch his new
website and promote his upcoming summer tour. He’s played with the best in the
industry and continues to shine his light on any stage he sets his spirit to,
its truly an honor to support his countless gifts as he launches his quest of
‘keeping up with Alvin” in todays technology” says Jaijai Jackson of The Jazz
Network Worldwide.
Oscar Peterson was quoted saying “First and foremost, Alvin
is basically a comedian, in a personal sense, being able to see humor in almost
any circumstance. His whole personality is based on this premise. It is noticeably
carried over into the music by that joyful, kid-like smile that he gets when
the group seems to reach a very cohesive groove. He has a tremendous command of
his instrument, along with a very creative and diversified musical cadence,
speaking from the aspect of his solo work. It is a joy and inspiration to
exchange musical ideas with him, which results in heightening of my own ideas
as we go along. By the way, so far I have forgotten to mention the most
important aspect that he brings to our group impeccable time!.”
Not only is Queen an accomplished musician, he is an
impeccable photographer that truly has that gift of capturing the essence of a
moment in time with depth, color and variety. There are quite a few of his
favorite moments throughout his musical journey from his travels viewable on
his new website (www.alvinqueen.com) In addition, Alvin shares some of the
priceless memories he holds close to his heart as ‘reflections’ on his website.
