Kiefer on seven-minute solos, working with Drake and bringing classic rock chords into jazz: "The chord progression in the right hand could be a The Who song, but in the left there’s another harmonic context"

Kiefer.

Both a gifted producer and classically trained jazz pianist, Kiefer Shackelford is a uniquely 21st-century kind of musician. 

Equally comfortable laying down a fiendishly nimble piano solo as he is slicing samples in Ableton Live, Kiefer draws from various corners of Black American music - jazz, hip-hop, R&B, funk and electronica - to create a vibrant soundworld populated by head-nodding beats, soaring synths and rich, complex harmonies.
