Skerik
The Syncopated Taint Septet formed unexpectedly and organically in the summer of 2002 when Skerik was at home in Seattle between tours. Talking with long-time comrade and baritone saxophonist Craig Flory, Skerik decided to reactivate a sax-and-organ group with Joe Doria on Hammond organ and John Wicks on drums.

From the beginning, Skerik invited all of the musicians to suggest ideas and write music for the band

Naughty Professor: Kings
by Mike Jacobs

Their one/two punch of an ultra-tight rhythm section coupled with a sharper-than-a-tack horn section makes it easy to understand ...

The Comet Is Coming: Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam
by Chris May
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, tenor saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings (King Shabaka), synths maven Dan Leavers (Danalogue) and drummer Max Hallett (Betamax) were students at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama. As alumni, they formed The Comet Is Coming. To jumble allusions with as much abandon as the band approach cosmic ...
