Jazz fans have known Jeffery B. Suttles as an accomplished drummer who entered the industry under the watchful eye of the late great Leon ‘Ndugu’ Chancler. Leaving his college football days behind, he traded the gridiron for music. While touring with Chancler, Suttles caught the attention of another legend, Bill Withers.
But Eddie Murphy fans know him as the bandleader and drummer of Sexual Chocolate from “Coming to America,” the 1988 comedy.
He’s played with some of the world’s most popular musical figures, including En Vogue, Quincy Jones, Sheena Easton, Teena Marie. Considered a force on the jazz circuit, Suttles showcases his range and smooth arrangements through 10 mellow tracks on his 2005 album “Time to Suttledown."
