The Whammies is an international quintet featuring luminaries from the improvised music scenes in Boston, Chicago and the Netherlands, devoted to the repertoire and musical spirit of the late soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy. This all-star line-up features dutch drummer Han Bennink, who worked extensively with Lacy in the 1970's and 80's, and Jorrit Dijkstra, who studied with Lacy just before his death in 2004.
