G.T. Hogan

Granville Theadore Hogan Jr. (January 16, 1929 – August 7, 2004), known professionally as G. T. Hogan, was an American jazz drummer. He is often confused with Wilbert Hogan, who was also an American jazz drummer.

Over the course of his career he played with Randy Weston, Kenny Drew, Kenny Dorham, Ray Charles, Elmo Hope, Bud Powell and Walter Bishop Jr. He was less active as a musician after the 1970s, and suffered from emphysema in the 1990s.
