Based in Philadelphia, the ZTKM Quartet is a modern jazz outfit with a marked bop influence. Bandleader Zephyr Kremer's innovative, yet classic compositions demonstrate a thorough understanding of the music matched by skillful execution. Also, standards are by no means out of the question in a ZTKM set, where thoughtful interpretation is the rule. The ZTKM Quartet provides an experience that owes as much to the roots of jazz as to its contemporary iterations.
