about

This is a 2022 trio recording where the unique Kresten Osgood meets the two living legends: Bob Moses and Tisziji Muñoz.

Bob Moses is one of the greatest living drummers in the world. H Started his career in 1964 with Roland Kirk while still in his teens. Since then he has collaborated with such artists as Gary Burton, Paul Bley, Steve Swallow, Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, Steve Kuhn, Sheila Jordan, Todd Rundgren, Larry Coryell, Gunter Hampel, Darius Jones, and many many more.
Bob Moses is also a respected educator and drum innovator who is constantly expanding the vocabulary of the drumset.

Tisziji Muñoz is a brilliant guitarist composer, producer, author, and astrologer, who has been active since the early 70s when he worked with Pharoah Sanders. He has released over 65 albums on his own label Anima with such artists as Dave Liebman, Billy Hart, Marilyn Crispell, Paul Shaffer, John Medeski, Cecil McBee, Ravi Coltrane, Rashied Ali, Hilton Ruiz, and Bob Moses. A completely original voice on his instrument and a leading light for many musicians who consider him a spiritual mentor.

Kresten Osgood is one of these people who at the same time defy and totally own categories. An extraordinary drummer and improviser with the fullest respect for tradition, without fear to challenge it at any given moment of his creative endeavors. He has about 100 albums to his credit, toured practically everywhere, and has been performing and/or recording with legends like Roscoe Mitchell, Paul Bley, Lee Scratch Perry, William Parker, Masabumi Kikuchi, Derek Bailey, Wadada Leo Smith, Jason Moran, Michael Blake, Oliver Lake, Kurt Rosenwinkel, John Tchicai, Tim Berne, Justin Vernon, Peter Brötzman, Joshua Redman, Eugene Chadbourne, Billy Preston, Alan Silva, Brad Mehldau, Mats Gustafsson, Bennie Maupin, The National, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Sam Rivers, Henry Grimes, Dr. Yusef Lateef, Warren Smith, and many many others.

With two drum sets and electric guitar, the trio's music is powerful and completely unique, played freely and with a fierce spirit. Tisziji Muñoz was the one who named the album Spiritual Drum Kingship. He felt that the meeting of drum kings Bob Moses and Kresten Osgood created energy of a seismic nature, and also considers his guitar a six-string drum on this recording.
