Wayne Krantz Set For West Coast Tour

  I  

Guitarist Wayne Krantz, a former sideman with Steely Dan, Michael Brecker, Billy Cobham and others, has scheduled a West Coast tour for his New York-based band (Tim Lefebvre and Keith Carlock). With a growing, cult-like, underground international following – the band has shunned mainstream label involvement – a new album, Greenwich Mean and an extraordinarily powerful and creative live show, the group defines the current state of the electric improvisational art. Deeply grooving and interactive, highly individualized and relentlessly innovative, this music undermines establishment complacency at every turn.

    “There’s nothing quite like it,” Springs says of working with an orchestra. “It’s 60 people working in harmony in the moment. Singing with them is kind of empowering but also humbling at the same time.”
