Jim Ekof, Percussion
Jim is the closest thing to an original member you get with this band, having joined in 1960. A graduate of Drake University, he has taught music in and out of the public school systems for nearly fifty years and is highly regarded as a clinician. He has performed from coast to coast as the drummer for the marvelous Marilyn Maye since 1971 with regular engagements in Manhattan and Miami and numerous symphonic pops performances around the country. Now retired from his career as an educator, his performance schedule has become even busier, and we’re lucky to have him!
