Daniel Rosenboom’s latest album blurs genre lines and heralds a new sound in American Music

Fire Keeper introduces a new brand of American music, unbound by genre or stylistic idiom. Daniel Rosenboom and his quintet seamlessly blend elements of jazz, progressive and experimental rock, electronic music, N'awlins blues, grunge, and contemporary classical music into an unprecedented sound that is fiery, grooving, intelligent and exciting.
