FATHERS is a remarkable new collective bringing together producer Kenny Beats, keyboardist Kiefer, bassist CARRTOONS and drummer Nate Smith. On their self-titled Blue Note debut, the quartet blends the openness of jazz with hip-hop, funk, soul and electronic influences, creating a sound that is both virtuosic and accessible. Born out of a collaboration at the 2023 Montreal Jazz Festival and further shaped through tours across the U.S. and Japan, FATHERS thrives on the creative chemistry between its members. The result is eight tracks filled with infectious grooves, memorable melodies and sophisticated arrangements that balance musical excellence with immediate appeal.
