Vic Pitts & The Cheaters, Jammin.. at Tanzpalast, Braunschweig, Germany 1975
Drummer Vic Pitts began his career in 1962 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA where he founded his group «Vic Pitts and the Cheaters ».
The band quickly became very popular – opening for stars such as Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Jimmy Hendrix and Frank Sinatra Jr. Later the group accompanied The Platters, Everly Brothers, Dick & Dee-Dee and Joey Dee & The Starliners. They organized a variety of shows including The Battle of the Bands featuring The Jackson Five, The Five Stair Steps, The Crowlers and many other artists.
In 1967, Pitts opened his nightclub which featured his own group and many other artists such as Al Jarreau, Blue Mitchell, Major Lance, Alvin Cash and the Chilites.
In 1969, Pitts brought his group to Europe where they appeared in Holland, Germany and Italy and played with artists including Charles Aznavour and Arthur Conley.
In 1975, the group separated and Pitts went to Paris. He toured with Miriam Makeba, Harry Belafonte, Brothers Johnson, Fat Back Band, Soul Train Dancer, Marvin Gaye, Al Jarreau, James Brown, Curtis Mayfield, Percy Sledge, Bobby Womack and others.
Since the mid 80s Vic Pitts lives with his family in Annemasse, France, close to Geneva and is a profile well known to visitors at the Montreux Jazz Festival where he played many times, not only with Miriam Makeba but also in many other collaborations.
Togheter with fellow drummer Phil Collins, Vic Pitts also was musical director in the "Little Dream Foundation" event at Montreux Jazz Festival in 2002.
Recently he has been touring in Europe with the bluesman John "Broadway"Tucker and also a trio formation with Chris Cody on piano and Wayne Dockery on bass.
Next project coming up is the new "Big Up Band" featuring some really heavy musicians. Stay tuned!
