While often referred to as the “Tony Williams of funk,” Mike Clark considers jazz his first love. He gained worldwide recognition as one of America’s foremost jazz and funk drummers while playing with Herbie Hancock in the early seventies. His incisive playing on Hancock’s “Actual Proof”garnered him an international cult following and influenced generations of drummers. Mike has produced three releases for the spoken word prophet Tony Adamo, including ”Miles of Blu”and "Tony Adamo & The New York Crew" with Tower of Power's Doc Kupka, Donald Harrision, Michael Wolff. Along with drum legend Lenny White (Return to Forever), Mike is co-leading Nu Brew, a double drummer experience in new music.He also appears on Tower of Power’s organist Chester Thompson’s new CD, Mixology/The IRIDIUM JAZZ CLUB NYC
