Victor Feldman

from Jazz Legends Hosted by Jazz Legends

Victor Feldman is considered the finest all-around jazz musician ever to come from Great Britain. He was born on April 7, 1934, and was performing on stage playing the drums with Glenn Miller’s band at the age of six. Glenn Miller called Feldman “The greatest young percussionist ever created.” He was featured in several motion pictures and on the BBC. Since his arrival in the United States, he recorded over twenty albums and a video music lesson. Over a hundred of his compositions have been recorded, including the instantly recognizable jazz classics “Seven Steps To Heaven” and “Joshua,” made famous by Miles Davis and recorded and performed by thousands of artists worldwide.
