Band Biographies: CKRAFT

The members of CKRAFT are the craftsmen of a heavy and elaborate sound, drawing power from metal, the cry of freedom from jazz, and immortal melodies from medieval repertoire (Gregorian chant). The instrumental quintet juxtaposes an aggressive power trio with the frenetic breath of sax and an accordion enhanced with electronic sensors.
