He is well-known and respected for his prolific writing, and his unique harmonic and rhythmic sensibility.

Turner, AllAboutJazz Sean's site » As a percussionist, drummer, and composer, John Hadfield has a dedication to music that has taken him from his native Missouri to concert halls and clubs across the world. John currently leads two ensembles: his Trio of Myths performs his compositions in an intimate trio setting, and the Saints of Percussion is a percussion-based composer collective dedicated to improvised music. John’s ability to cross genres has allowed him to appear with a broad range of ensembles and artists, including Yo-Yo Ma and his Silk Road Ensemble, Kinan Azmeh’s City Band, Petros Klampanis’ Contextual, Nguyen Le’s STREAMS Quartet, The Saturday Night Live Band on NBC, Deep Purple, and more.
