Wayne Krantzw/ James Genus & Cliff Almond: Jazz Musician in New York

About Wayne Krantzw/ James Genus & Cliff Almond

Wayne Krantz is a guitarist known for an electric-jazz vocabulary that sits close to rock and pop phrasing, often heard in New York City clubs including regular appearances at the Blue Note. At The Bitter End he works as a tight trio with bassist James Genus, a seasoned session player, and drummer Cliff Almond. Krantz has collaborated with musicians such as Mark Guiliana, Nate Wood, Rachel Eckroth, and Michael League, bringing that cross-scene experience into small-room performances. The group favors precision and quick rhythmic turns over overt spectacle.
