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.
