DESCRIPTION
Directly inspired by the city of New York, KILTER‘s compositions are the mirror of a new spirit of jazz, nourished by improvisation, avant-garde and every other kind of extraordinary artistic expression that gets created unstoppably in this city. For this new project, Laurent David surrounded himself with two talented and open-minded Brooklyn-based musicians and composers, well-known for their eclectism and their hunger for new experimentations: Kenny Grohowski is currently playing drums for John Zorn, BRAND X and the avant-garde metal band IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT; Ed Rosenberg III is a member and founder of JERSEYBAND.
