About Me

LATEST REVIEW: "Thoughfully modernistic compositions."- Nate Chinen, New York Times..................."It's all outside, but always accessible." Geoff Chapman, Coda Magazine Canada. "Convincingly hip, thoughtfully astute, the music is the sound of modern jazz without its constraints." Mark F. Turner, All About Jazz New York ..........................................SHORT BIO: Koptor is led by Canadian drummer/composer and now Copenhagen resident Kevin Brow. This debut self-titled album has established Koptor as one of the most interesting new bands in Canada and one that is quickly becoming known on both sides of the Atlantic. The album features all original compositions by Brow, which are said to be - Intelligent compositions with a great base to improvise on and even if the groove is not simple there is always a constant flow – (Volker Duek-between the lines records).... Now residing in Copenhagen Brow leads both his band Koptor and his Trio feat: Danish pianist Jacob Anderskov and Lotte Anker-sax. Danish reviews have stated that "It is an enrichment to have an original musician such as Brow in the country."- Jackob Bækgaard, Geiger.dk. Brow also performs as a sideman and tours with among others, New York saxophonist Pete Robbins, Danish/Canadian quartet Goo! and the Vanhuffel/Brow/Fidezius Trio.
