The 2004 ITG conference closed with an exhilarating get-together with the Darren Kramer Organization in the Marriot’s Jackson Hole room. A former Matchbox Twenty member, Darren Kramer’s biography states that he has proven to be an innovative and talented young musician. His performance wrapping up ITG 2004 cemented this statement as those in attendance can attest. The Darren Kramer Organization performed an eclectic concert of original funk, jazz, and Latin music all with a new flavor that gives the DKO its own exciting niche. Truly the comparisons to The Chick Corea Elektric Band and The Brecker Brothers are well founded and just. What a thrill to unwind and to hear such a fresh sound combined with those that are so familiar. ITG wrapped up its 2004 Conference with fun and dancing. Now all there is to do is start making those plans for Bangkok…see you in 2005!
