Franklin Kiermyer: Further
by Hrayr Attarian
Expat Canadian drummer Franklin Kiermyer's sublime and passionate Further is a cohesive work that is both transcendent and crackles with a visceral vitality. The album revolves around themes that are inspired by saxophonist John Coltrane's late career explorations but the Oslo-based Kiermyer and his band are not mere impersonating devotees. They imbue every tune with originality ...
Franklin Kiermyer: Joy And Consequence
by Ian Patterson
The tradition. It's common jazz terminology. What does it mean, though, to be “in the tradition"?

In a time when the music business, as many other other branches of commerce, is in crisis, it has become increasingly relevant to ask what needs to be done in order to save record labels. While the major companies retreat to protective copyright thinking and unimaginative repacking of archive material, a new host of independent labels ...
Franklin Kiermyer: Sanctification
by Glenn Astarita
Drummer Franklin Kiermyer continues his advocacy of later day Trane on Sanctification which also represents the first release for his new label, aptly titled, “Sunship Records”. Along with his long time working quartet of saxophonist Michael Stuart, pianist John Esposito and bassist Fima Ephron, Kiermyer once again revitalizes the spirit of John Coltrane via swirling progressions ...
