Jim Black is an American jazz drummer who has performed with Tim Berne and Dave Douglas.

The music is in some ways closer to post-rock than jazz, concentrating on rhythmic shifts and ensemble texture rather than featured solos.

Pachora includes Black, Speed, Sverrisson, and Brad Shepik on tambura and electric saz.

Black participated as drummer 12 in the Boredoms 77 Boadrum performance on July 7, 2007 at the Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park in Brooklyn, New York.
