A native of Salzburg, Austria and a sought-after drummer on the New York jazz scene since 2010, Brooklyn-based Peter Kronreif presents an inspired book of original compositions. Kronreif’s music brims with fresh and unexpected compositional moves, effortless transitions, captivating solos and interplay, and rhythmic ideas as precise as they are elastic in their groove and swing - as Goldmine Magazine writes: “…boy, it’s a doozy” - “mystifying, eclectic, adventurous and ultimately satisfying”. The Big Takeover remarks: “Between Kronreif’s writing and his band’s performance, Aeronautics is a great showcase for some strong jazz talent that’s relatively unknown – for now.“

Along with his output as a leader and composer, Kronreif has worked with the Grammy nominated Le Boeuf Brothers & Remy Leboeuf’s “Assembly of Shadows” BigBand, vocalist Thana Alexa, Christos Rafalides’ Manhattan Vibes, Allan Harris and many others, in a range of settings from jazz to hip-hop and R&B. When Wayfarers came together initially, the group featured pianist Florian Hoefner, bassist Linda Oh and saxophonist Mike Rivett along with Andrew Gould and the leader. After the Gloaming session from 2010 Nevin on bass and Matt Marantz on tenor were introduced, but with the arrival of Frei on piano and Pino on tenor the current Aeronautics lineup took form. Their first album has been praised by BayernKlassik Online as “truly a discovery,” and Kronreif as “a drummer of great refinement.”
