Dave Kroyer • Peter Fuller • Xavier Gonzalez
Formed out of a mutual love for late-night club jams and deep pocket grooves, Cool Pocket strips away the unnecessary to focus on what matters most: tone, interplay, and feel. Whether digging into a sultry slow-burn blues or pushing the tempo with complex modal jazz, the trio creates an intimate, immersive conversation between drums, bass, and keys.
