Skerik's Syncopated Taint Septet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Skerik's Syncopated Taint Septet (aka SST7) is a Jazz ensemble formed in Seattle, Washington in 2002. Musical influences include a variety of jazz styles from dixieland to avant-garde as well as funk and hip-hop. It is self-described by Skerik as "punk-jazz. Maybe a punk-jazz version of the Thelonius Monk Octet."
Skerik talks about recording the 2006 release Husky:
"For me, Husky is that rare combination of everything lining up perfectly at the right time. You're lucky if you get one of these in a lifetime. The band had been on the road touring, so we knew the music inside out. We had a day off in Los Angeles, so we went into The Sound Factory, which is a one-of-a-kind studio out there and cut the entire record that day."
