KIEFER with Shibo

Sould Out Presents: Kiefer

Doors: 7:00pm

Show: 8:00pm One of LAs best kept musical secrets, Kiefer has been described as a musician who doesnt play keyswith his fingers, but with his soul, which just about sums up in as simple terms as possible the artistry of this truly gifted individual who has re-defined that happy place between jazz improvisation and hip-hopbeat-making. His distinctive musical style, which he calls Over The Breaks, reaches new heights of creativity on Memory Bomb, his solo debut for Blue Note Records. His work has earned the rare distinction of being signed to both Stones Throw Records and Blue Note Records, two of the most influential labels in hip-hop and jazz, signaling his legitimacy and impact in both scenes. A Grammy Awardwinning producer for his contributions to Malibu by Anderson .Paak, he has collaborated with artists including Dr. Dre, Kaytranada, De La Soul, Pete Rock, Terrace Martin, Kenny Beats, Walter Smith III, and Nate Smith. Drawing from influences ranging from Herbie Hancock to Los Angeles beat-makers like Madlib, Kiefers music balances technical sophistication with emotional immediacy, pairing lush harmony with minimalist, hypnotic grooves.
