New generations of musicians continue to explore existing notions of what jazz is by fearlessly taking the music in new directions.
The collective consists of four broad-minded artists who have established their presence at the forefront of that movement: producer Kenny Beats, keyboardist Kiefer, bassist CARRTOONS, and drummer Nate Smith.
On their eponymous debut album, FATHERS, the collective uses jazz as a jumping off point for an 8-track set that seamlessly blends jazz textures, hip-hop beats, and funk grooves into a potent mix.
