PUNKTONES by Anceis Jazz Unit
On PUNKTONES the Anceis Jazz Unit deliver highly energetic instrumental punk performances inspired by the likes of the Beastie Boys (Aglio e Olio EP) or Velvet Underground, while grounding the record in jazz and modern improvisation.
Jackson Harvey on alto sax drives the tunes as the leading voice, while Emma Sjue on guitar provides the backbone of the compositions and powerful solos. Pete Weiss on bass is loose yet solid, allowing for the music to breathe and push forward, while Daniel plays drums in a creative style, flowing seamlessly in between grooves and towards free improvisation.
The outing brings forth a slight return to their first outing Ignited, where swing is not present and the length of the songs is shorter.
