Kiefer

Description:

The best new jazz sound that passes through hip-hop! Kiefer is one of the leading post-Robert Glasper artists who has been creating the best sound connecting LA beat music and jazz. Kiefer is a jazz pianist and beat maker from LA, produced three songs on Anderson Park's latest album, collaborated with Kaytranada, and is a member of Mind Design's live band. His jazz beat music is a perfect cross between the piano skills he developed from childhood through college at UCLA Jazz Department and the hip-hop beatmaking talent he has nurtured in the LA beat scene since his early teens. 2017's debut album "Kickinit Alone" was named the U.S. A 2IM nomination for Best Jazz Album, and his 2018 album "Happysad" for Stones Throw was praised by Pitchfork, Bandcamp, and many media and key figures including Dr. Dre and DJ Jazzy Jeff.Linked to Robert Glasper, Kareem Liggins, and even Mind Design and Knowledge, this is the most important link between LA beat music and the jazz scene! You can't talk about beat music today without listening to this.
