432 Warriors
432 Warriors is a musical collective founded and led by Leroy Romans. The group brings musicians together for spontaneous, attentive interplay, drawing on jazz, world music, classical influences and contemporary sound. Rather than follow a fixed arrangement, each player listens and responds as the music develops in real time.
The ensemble works with 432 Hz tuning as a creative choice. Gift of the Unknown is its debut release and the starting point for more music from the collective.
Gift of the Unknown — debut release, June 26, 2026. Recorded live in the studio, the long-form piece grew from spontaneous musical conversation. The first-release lineup brings together Leroy Romans on grand piano, Leslie Zigel on bass, Dave Simmons on drums, featured flutist Néstor Torres and featured violinist Kostia Lucky.
