Franklin Kiermyer From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Franklin Kiermyer (b. 1956) is a drummer/composer who produced several well-received jazz and world music recordings. His music is inspired by a variety of spiritual musics including the late period of John Coltrane and more recently by his practice of Tibetan Buddhism. Kiermyer’s album Solomon’s Daughter featured saxophonist and Coltrane band member Pharaoh Sanders and invoked the passionate intensity of Coltrane's Sunship. Later works like Kairos employed a wider range of textures drawn from traditions as diverse as Mbuti singing and Native American chants balanced by Kiermyer's ecstatic drumming.
His recordings & performances have garnered strong industry and media attention:
"Kiermyer plays with volcanic authority." Dan Ouellette / DOWN BEAT "His writing is fiercely primal and his drumming ferocious, unbridled…" Fred Bouchard / JAZZIZ "Passion, power and pride…An unstinting drive, a bracing and uplifting incantory quality." Gene Kalbacher / CMJ NEW MUSIC REPORT "Absolutely amazing stuff!" Michael Cuscuna / BLUENOTE - IMPULSE - VERVE - MOSAIC "…a galvanizing player and highly original composer… superb intuition and intelligence." Parry Gettelman / ORLANDO SENTINEL "…a striking new voice of the jazz vanguard…a daring composer…" Sam Prestianni/ SAN FRANCISCO WEEKLY "…he is a polyrhythmic whirlwind…this is the real thing… marvelous, powerfully affirmative music." Bill Tilland / OPTION "Imagine if drummer Elvin Jones and Pianist McCoy Tyner had not left the John Coltrane Quartet in early 1966 and had spent another year with the great saxophonist; it might have sounded something like this." Scott Yanow / L.A. JAZZ SCENE "…enough to make you believe that music can still be frightening as well as sacred." John Szwed / THE VILLAGE VOICE "Kiermyer plays (and composes) with an almost evangelical belief in jazz as a form of pure inspiration." David Hajdu / ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY "Blessed with the ecstatic quality of Kiermyer's free-bop attack… drummer Franklin Kiermyer is that rare 90's jazzman." David Fricke / ROLLING STONE
