SKERIK'S SYNCOPATED TAINT SEPTET

"Philadelphia" Audio Sample

Rolling Stone called Skerik "Jazz's Best Kept Secret." Jazztimes named Skerik "The guy every band needs for every occasion." Skerik, the one-named saxophone legend, is famous for his seminal work in punk-jazz bands Garage-a-Trois (with Charlie Hunter & Stanton Moore), Critters Buggin, Ponga (with Wayne Horvitz & Bobby Previte) and Black Flames. The in-demand sideman to heavyweights such as Roger Waters (Pink Floyd), Galactic, John Scofield, Medeski, Martin & Wood, Charlie Hunter, and Les Claypool - describes "the Taint's sound" as "a mix of Monk, Mingus & Miles."
