Len Bryant was born in Philadelphia, Pa. USA. Len has spent half a century performing as both a drummer and vocalist. Some sort of musical genes are sure to be found in his extended family, particularly his sister Vera Eubanks, who in addition to being a multi-instrumentalist in her own right gave birth to not one but three jazzy sons, guitarist Kevin Eubanks (The Tonight Show With Jay Leno), trombonist Robin Eubanks, and trumpeter Duane Eubanks.
Len Bryant's brother Ray Bryant is a stellar jazz pianist, while another brother named Tom Bryant, unfortunately deceased, was a Bassist and vocalist. Len's daughter, Jennifer Bryant, is a fine vocalist and songwriter. From this diverse group of related influences it was Ray Bryant who perhaps had the greatest impact. while in the Army, Len Bryant became fascinated with both the piano and the way his brother played it. Len took lessons from army band members for a while and eventually joined up with other players from the Army band to form rehearsal and jam bands.
He soon began working out on the drums, for several years playing both piano and drums before finally settling on the latter. Bryant nonetheless dropped music for a while after rejoining civilian life, eventually opting for formal training at the Granoff School of Music, where he once again engaged in the tandem exploration of piano and drums. Soon he was picking up work as a drummer in Jazz, R&B and Blues bands. Len Bryant became known for singing a few numbers on every gig, a talent that listeners encouraged with suggestions that he pursue a career entirely devoted to vocalizing. His CD "It's Now Midnight (Waiting for Your Love)" was released on the LB label.
