Excursions
Kyle Broadbooks
Oklahoma City-based drummer, composer, and producer Kyle Broadbooks steps into the spotlight with his highly-anticipated debut jazz album, Excursions. Known in the OKC music scene for his versatility across jazz, rock, latin, and funk, Broadbooks has long been a go-to sideman and the driving rhythmic force behind bands like Bee & The Hive.
With Excursions, Broadbooks brings his creative vision to the forefront, presenting a collection of original compositions that pay homage to the golden eras of jazz. Drawing inspiration from the timeless albums of the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s, this record takes listeners on a musical journey through shifting moods and textures — from soulful and contemplative to vibrant and electrifying.
Following his 2020 solo EP All The Cards, recorded entirely at home as a pandemic project, Excursions represents a bold next step — a fully-realized jazz statement showcasing his skills not just as a drummer, but as a composer and bandleader.
Excursions is more than just an album — it’s an invitation to explore the many paths and possibilities of modern jazz through the eyes and ears of an artist deeply rooted in its tradition yet unafraid to forge his own way.
