Not the real Wayne, just a fan.
Wayne Krantz, ex / sideman with Steely Dan, Michael Brecker, Billy Cobham and others, has made six albums under his own name since 1991; three on the Enja label ("Signals", "Long to Be Loose" and "2 Drink Minimum"), one on the Alchemy label ("Separate Cages") and, most recently, the self-produced CDs "Greenwich Mean" and "Your Basic Live". Wayne's two recording bands during that time, a trio with Zach Danziger and Lincoln Goines from '92-'95 and a trio with Tim Lefebvre and Keith Carlock from '97-'03, have toured occasionally in Europe and the US, though they have always been most easily found at NYCs 55 Bar on Thursday nights. Without the excess of promotional hype, the music has found a devoted, underground, international audience who, with their growing support, keep the music moving forward. Besides running his website, waynekrantz.com, which offers all of his CDs, live Mp3 downloads of his current gigs and a sort of method book he has written called "An Improviser's OS", Wayne is performing in New York (and recently in Japan and Europe) with his current band, featuring Anthony Jackson, Cliff Almond, Ari Hoenig and others. Wayne has also been touring and recording recently with Chris Potter's band and playing on sessions for a new Donald Fagen album. Both releases are scheduled for early '06. Wayne Krantz is in the process of creating a new project that will, no doubt, continue to undermine Establishment complacency at every turn. The shape, color and personality of that project is, at present, shrouded in secrecy.

Hello, Just wanted to give you a heads up about the upcoming Snarky Puppy/Keith Anderson and Full of Soul joint CD release show @ Hailey's (www.haileysclub.com) in Denton, TX. The show is this Friday 5-4-07. Show starts at 10pm with the super-funky, world class Keith Anderson and Full of Soul celebrating their debut release entitled "Let's Roll 07." These guys have toured and recorded with Roy Hargrove's RH Factor and Marcus Miller among many others. They are some heavy dudes fo sho.
Snarky Puppy will be ending the night with some new tunes as well as old tunes and a few surprises. The new album entitled "The World is Getting Smaller" is available through our label SiTMoM's website, www.sitmom.com, and will also be available at the show. For more info go to:
A friend of mine jokingly referred to our music as "the Wayne Krantz Big Band", which I thought was pretty funny. It reminded me to tell you thanks for your tunes- it's really amazing.
Please be aware that this message is by no means personalized, don’t take offense. That being said if you are in the neighborhood I would love to see you at the free show this Saturday in New York City. We could hang, and I will give you a free CD. Zoingas!
Rock,
Mr. Fussy
