ERIK TRUFFAZ QUARTET @ the KNITTING FACTORY, NYC this Wednesday! Trumpeter Erik Truffaz is known for his astonishing experimental mix of jazz, Drum'n'Bass and hip-hop. Truffaz has proven that the drum n' bass and ambient perspective is viable and exciting on acoustic instruments, as well as on samplers and drum machines. Jazz fans as well as DJs and fans of electronic and dance music took to Truffaz's ground breaking musical approach which blends his muted trumpet stylings with elements of jazz, down-tempo groove, hip hop and drum & bass. Think MILES DAVIS meets the highly succesful french electronic duo AIR. His latest album Walk of the Giant Turtle was just issued on EMI. for more info and tix: www.knittingfactory.com
