Ars Nova Workshop presents the Los Angeles-based pianist and beatmaker Kiefer with his trio, at Solar Myth on Sunday, October 13, 2024.

Kiefer is a central figure in the diverse independent music scene of Los Angeles. His sound fuses various modalities of Black American Music, from jazz and R&B to hip-hop and electronic music. Kiefer grew up in San Diego, California, immersed in jazz by his father at a young age, and later experimented with hip-hop-inspired beats in high school. While studying jazz piano at UCLA, Kiefer got his education in beats from attending shows at Low End Theory and collaborating with other artists in the scene. Hard-hitting beats, complex jazz voicings and sentimental melodies all fed into Kiefer’s soundworld. Outside of his solo work, Kiefer has recorded with artists such as Drake, Kaytranada, Sir, and Terrace Martin, and produced for Anderson .Paak on his Grammy Award-winning Ventura. His latest Stones Throw release, Something For Real, captures his trio live at Scenario in L.A. and is a snapshot of an artist in his groove: the musicianship is on display, the improvisations exploratory, the vibes immaculate.
