Franklin Kiermyer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franklin Kiermyer (b. 1956) in Montréal, Canada, is a drummer/composer who came to prominence in the 1990's during his long residency in New York City. Kiermyer's work is inspired by a variety of spiritual musics including the late period of John Coltrane and more recently by his own practice of Tibetan Buddhism. Kiermyer’s album Solomon’s Daughter featured saxophonist and Coltrane band member Pharaoh Sanders and invoked the passionate intensity of Coltrane's Sunship.
