Internal Reflections with Idris Frederick on The K Jazz Show

Loading player...
On today’s edition, wherever in the world you may be listening from, this is The K Jazz Show — your Sunday to everyday favourite, where the music breathes, the stories matter, and the artists who are shaping the sound of now find a home.
Today we welcome a pianist, composer, sound architect and musical storyteller whose music has been described as ethereal, heavy-hitting, extremely funky and completely infectious.
Born in Detroit, forged in the Midwest, sharpened in New York, and now moving across the global stage — this is a musician who is not just playing the piano, but redefining how the instrument speaks in modern music.
He has worked with artists like Topaz Jones, Cleo Reed,, Amanda Barise including Tivon Penicott — and somewhere between touring, music directing, sound designing and composing, he is quietly becoming one of the most sought-after pianists of his generation.
Kofifi FM, The K Jazz Show introduces Idris Frederick.
