Drummer, Kenne Thomas brings his group, Kenne Thomas K-TET to the scene with their album, YESTERDAYS. A well-travelled drummer, Kenne honed his skills in the grinding jazz organ trios, hard bop jazz groups and progressive fusion bands of Chicago. Early he spent time as a roadie for Elvin Jones. The many genres in which he is skilled, came from a wide range of experiences. K-TET is comprised of jazz musicians from around the country who display their skills with fire and zest. The up-front saxophone/trombone lineup, with trumpet sometimes echoes the spirit of the Art Blakey.
