PLANET KNIFFEN - DREAMLAND
Jazz fusion group Planet Kniffen arose out of Darryl Kniffen’s desire for complete creative musical freedom. Thus, Kniffen and his group of all-star musicians recorded nine original instrumental tracks in an effort to create "a musical world...of beauty, complexity, and mystery.” The result is their debut album, Dreamland, which released on April 27, 2018.
