Omar Hakim first grabbed the attention of the world at large when he and bassist Victor Bailey replaced the legendary rhythm section of Drummer Peter Erskine and bassist Jaco Pastorius in Weather Report. Hakim wowed audiences with his energy, chops and musicality, recording ‘Procession’, ‘Domino Theory’ and Sportin’ Life’ with the fusion pioneers. Upon leaving Weather Report, he became the drummer in Sting’s first post-Police project, recording Sting’s solo debut ‘The Dream Of The Blue Turtles’ and subsequently recorded a string of hit albums including Dire Straits’ ‘Brothers In Arms’, David Bowie’s ‘Let’s Dance’, John Scofield’s ‘Still Warm’ and Miles Davis’ ‘Tutu’, ‘Amandla’ and ‘Siesta’.
