Product Description
Contents: �ySHM-CD�z Kiefer, a symbol of the thriving LA jazz scene, presents his highly anticipated Blue Note debut album featuring a host of guest artists. Kiefer, the pianist/producer and most important figure in the LA music scene, releases his first new album since moving to Blue Note, "Memory Bomb." Kiefer is often described as a "hidden gem" of Los Angeles. Described as a "musician who plays the keyboard with his soul, not just his fingers," he has consistently forged a unique path between jazz improvisation and hip-hop beatmaking, creating a new form of musical expression. His one-of-a-kind style, which he calls "Over the Breaks," has garnered attention, and his successful performances in Japan this year were a major hit. His debut album with his new band "FATHERS," featuring Nate Smith, The Cartoons, and Kenny Beats, has also been well-received. This album, "Memory Bomb," is a noteworthy release in which his style has been elevated to even greater heights. With Cartoons and Sibo co-producing, and featuring a star-studded lineup of guests from various genres including Nate Smith, Cisco Swank, Walter Smith III, and Amber Navran (Moonchild), this album offers a fresh chemistry through its diverse combinations, while maintaining Kiefer's signature style throughout. EVERYTHING JAZZ STORE is offering a limited-edition signed art card as a first-come, first-served bonus, so be sure to check that out as well. The album title is said to be a poetic expression of "dreams" for Kiefer. It has three meanings: dreams seen while sleeping, dreams one wishes to fulfill, and dreams held as life goals, all of which are important themes that shape this work. This narrative-rich album reveals a different face each time you listen to it thanks to the improvisational performances. The songs, which evoke a sense of nostalgia, are full of poetic sentiment, and are full of groove, invite the listener into the dream world that Kiefer himself envisions. With his long-awaited Blue Note debut, there is much anticipation for what Kiefer will do next. Kiefer Sutherland, a key keyboardist/producer in the LA jazz scene who has collaborated with Anderson .Paak and Terrace Martin, makes his Blue Note debut. His popularity in Japan is growing, with his earlier-day concerts selling out. This album features a star-studded lineup of guests from the hip-hop and jazz worlds, including Cartoons, Sibo, Cisco Swank, Nate Smith, Walter Smith III, Eric the Architect, and Planet Giza, allowing listeners to fully appreciate his unique musical style, which he calls "over the breaks."
