Yamaha Drums at the 2005 Playboy Jazz Festival

As the brainchild of Playboy magazine publisher and music fan Hugh Hefner, the Playboy Jazz Festival has hosted legends Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie and Wynton Marsalis. Now in its 27th year, the festival returned to the historic Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles for a great weekend of music on June 11 and 12, bringing with it an eclectic mix of legends and emerging performers, and offering an array of musical styles ranging from hip-hop/jazz fusion and funk to straight-ahead be-bop.

Yamaha Drums served as the official drum company for the festival, providing a pair of Absolute Maple kits for the performances. Yamaha drum artists appearing on the bill included Ray Brinker with Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band, and Oliver Charles, with the daKAH Hip Hop Orchestra.

“It’s great to be a part of a high-profile festival such as Playboy Jazz,” said Dave Jewell, marketing manager, Yamaha Drums. “You’ve got great music, an amazing location, and incredible exposure for our drum products.”

Other headliners and performances included Keb Mo, Joshua Redman, Boney James, Ramsey Lewis, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Dr. John, Gilberto Santa Rosa, The Heath Brothers, Chico Hamilton, George Benson and a tribute to the late Jimmy Smith.

Yamaha is also the official drum company for other top festivals, including the Monterey Jazz Festival and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.
