Keston & Westdal
Real Name:
John Keston and Nils Westdal
Profile:
UK native Keston busted out in the early 90's reviving the Rhodes electric piano vibe while playing live hiphop and club music with the areas tightest MCs, DJs and musicians. In the process he helped found the ground breaking act Casino Royale (known for their work with hiphop innovators Phull Surkle and Slug of Atmosphere).
Meanwhile, Westdal, uprooted from the Bay area, quickly became known as the freshest bass player on the scene, working with cats like Jack McDuff, originating the trio Full Length with drummer Joshua Herbst and keyboardist John Keston, and tearing up the club funk business with his in-the-pocket-prowess.
Together, Keston and Westdal dish out pure jazz infiltrated downtempo Rhodes and bass. Their release "Super Structure Baby" consists of meticulous original compositions by these two demiurgic musicians.
