Richard Pite is a British professional musician (drums, double bass, bass ukulele, tuba and sousaphone) and jazz historian specialising in the jazz of the early-20th century. He is the founder of two music companies: PartyJazz and The Jazz Repertory Company, and is also the Director of Music for Boisdale, which presents jazz and other live music on a nightly basis at its four London venues. For many years he specialised in 1920s music and the drum techniques and visual tricks of the era's jazz drummers and over the last 12 years has worked together with musical partner Pete Long, to preserve jazz history through live performance. Together they have recreated historic moments from jazz in association with The National Jazz Archive. For the 100th anniversary of Gene Krupa's birth in 2009, Pite staged the only concert in Britain celebrating his life and work, as he was one of the most important and flamboyant drummers in jazz history.
