Kramer has used Live for over a decade, as both performance and composition tool, to enhance his unique approach to combining acoustic instruments with electronic music – a fusion of jazz and beats using advanced harmony and improvisation. His cutting-edge live performance also includes spectacular visuals beat-synced to Live using M4L, and the latest VJ software to combine video loops, live camera feeds and Kramer’s world-class photography for a truly stunning interactive multimedia experience.

After graduating from the University of Miami, Kramer moved to NYC and toured with acts such as pop/rock band Matchbox Twenty and the legendary jazz Broadway show, Duke Ellington’s Sophisticated Ladies. He has appeared on numerous TV shows, performed with dozens of popular artists, and has recorded on his own record label with Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Michael Brecker.
