The Jazz Gala 2019.

Featuring from the USA Drummer Gregg Bissonette, Vocalists Glenn Walters and UK Trumpet Star Louis Dowdeswell.

Gregg Bissonette drummer for the Maynard Ferguson, David Lee Roth and Ringo Star’s Allstar Band.
One of Bissonette's first recordings is Brandon Field's The Other Side of the Story in 1985. It featured David Garfield on keyboards.

A few years later Bissonette would start playing shows with Field, Garfield and Steve Lukather on guitar and with John Peña on bass as Los Lobotomys. These shows took place at the Baked Potato, a jazz club and restaurant in Los Angeles, California, playing rock, Latin, jazz and more.

From 1985-1992, Bissonnette served as the drummer for former Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth, notably appearing on the "Eat 'Em And Smile" and "Skyscraper" albums and tours.

In 1990 and 1993, Bissonette released drum videos Private Lesson and Playing, Reading & Soloing with a Band, respectively. Private Lessoncovers a variety of topics including double bass drumming, rudiments (featuring a backsticking technique from the snare drum solo Tornado by Mitch Markovich), playing with a metronome, brushes, and more.

In late 1995, Toto was beginning their Tambu tour when new drummer Simon Phillips developed back problems. Phillips asked Bissonette to fill in for him during the tour's first leg. Bissonette played drums on one track of Santana's multi-platinum album Supernatural.

In 2017, Bissonette recorded on the album La La Land by Daniel Glen Timms.
