Charlie Schefft, born the son of the late drummer Bruce Schefft, has been playing the drums since he was a boy, sitting on his father’s lap and playing piano since he was 7. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education & Jazz from CCM, Charlie quickly became a major player in Cincinnati’s music scene. Playing around town for years and made records with his own band, On a Limb, Eric Wurzelbacher (who also played at the Newport Jazz Festival in 2019 and 2022), and JD Allen (for who he recorded two songs for an HBO Original Documentary “A Choice of Weapons: The Legacy of Gordon Parks”). Since moving to New York, Charlie has gone on to play with the likes of veteran and contemporary musicians: Anthony Wonsey, ELEW, Joel Ross, Philip Harper, Johnny O’Neal, Jazzmeia Horn, Melanie Charles, Sam Dillon, Takuya Koroda, Ben Tiberio and many more, frequently performing at some of the most prominent jazz clubs such as Smalls Jazz Club, Arthur’s Tavern, Minton’s Playhouse and Nublu.” A $15 drink/food minimum is charged per person in the party, per set, if the total for beverages purchased by the party does not meet the minimum.
