Kevin Brow - Koptor (2007)

Koptor is lead by Canadian drummer/composer and now Copenhagen resident Kevin Brow. This debut self-titled album has established Koptor as one of the most interesting new bands in Canada and one that is quickly becoming known on both sides of the Atlantic. The album features all original compositions by Brow, which are said to be - Intelligent compositions with a great base to improvise on and even if the groove is not simple there is always a constant flow.

The music is built upon openness, lyrical melodies, twisting grooves and improvisations that are propelled by Brows lyrical drumming and the fiery playing of three of New Yorks most in demand young musicians pianist Jacob Sacks, bassist Eivind Opsvik and saxophonist Rob Mosher. Upon listening to this album one can get a sense of the known, unknown and the unexpected. The listener is both pulled in and challenged by a blend of simplicity and complexity that flows in a cascading and fluid nature.
