Bobby Orr (drummer)

Bobby Orr (drummer)

Bobby Orr (born August 15, 1928 in Cambuslang, Scotland) is a jazz drummer and session musician. In the 1950s and 1960s, he was a fixture on the London jazz scene, principally as a founder member of Joe Harriott's quintet (which he left and subsequently rejoined). He also served as a house drummer at Ronnie Scott's Club, backing top American visitors such as Zoot Sims, Al Cohn, Milt Jackson, and Dizzy Gillespie. As an aside from his jazz career, he also played on many recording sessions for pop and rock artists such as Donovan. He is still playing and teaching drums in 2007, at the age of 78.
