Thus, to date, the main part of Kramer’s musical career has been as an arranger and leader of his own trios.
In addition, from the mid-1990s his collaboration with co-leader - legendary bassist Eddie Gómez - has produced a far ranging catalogue of duo and trio recordings, including the Art of the Heart on Art of Life Records(released May 2006.) These recording are reminiscent of those produced by pianist Bill Evans.
