Swami Lateplate

Experimental Ambient Duo

Swami Lateplate was a collaboration between drummer Bobby Previte and pianist Jamie Saft. The project was known for its experimental approach to music, blending elements of jazz with darker, more atmospheric tones, which led to the characterization of their style as "doom jazz." This subgenre combines the improvisational nature of jazz with the brooding, heavy elements often found in doom metal and other dark ambient music styles. Swami Lateplate's work is noted for its cinematic quality and has been appreciated by fans of avant-garde and experimental music. The duo's commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional jazz structures has earned them a place within the niche community that appreciates these hybrid musical forms. However, detailed information about their career trajectory and discography beyond this project is limited.
