Fathers 'Fathers' LP

Pre-order. Due 10th July.

New generations of musicians continue to explode existing notions of what jazz is by fearlessly taking the music in new directions. The new collective Fathers 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.
