Fathers – Fathers (CD)
Product Details
Kenny Beats built his reputation producing rap records for Vince Staples, Freddie Gibbs, and EARTHGANG; Kiefer has been a quiet architect of the space between jazz piano and lo-fi hip-hop; CARRTOONS brings a bassist's melodic sensibility honed across sessions and solo work; and Nate Smith is simply one of the most in-demand drummers working today, with roots running through Dave Holland and Chris Potter. That these four found each other makes a certain kind of sense, even if the collective itself is genuinely new territory for all of them.
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.
