Album Description Full Title - Skerik's Syncopated Taint Septet. Skerik, the one-word, one-named wonder from Seattle has been famous to a few since the days of grunge when he was signed to Stone Gossard's (Pearl Jam) Loose Groove label as part of his jazz-funk outfit Critters Buggin. This record is the first to be released under his own name, & features some of the best names in the Pacific Northwest jazz scene. The sound is Mingus-meets the Meters & will not disappoint the old school jazz heads or new school jam kids. Rope-a-Dope. Digipak. 2003. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsThere's a way weird sensibility happenin here . . . Jan P. Dennis | Monument, CO USA | 09/14/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) ". . . but one that (I think!) most jazzers and anyone with big ears will be able to connect with. Think voodoo garage jazz: five horns, organ, and drums. But not played in a normal way--too sophisticated for typical garage jazz, too free for Naw'leans brass band music (though probably having its nearest referent here), too greasy-dirty for MMW; all in all, just plain wacky. Leave it to Skerik, the one-name alto-bari sax genius behind such hybrids as Critters Buggin and Garage a Trois, to come up with something both this zany and accessible. Some of it is purely beautiful, though still in an off-kilter way (check out the intro to "Too Many Toys"); some of it is pure musical genius (check out what "Too Many Toys" develops into); all of it is compellingly listenable, humorous, endlessly crerative, and just a lot of fun.For sure out of left field, but still lotsa fun." Still makes me quiver Austin F. Smith | Missoula MT | 05/21/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I was lucky to be at the taping of this stellar performance. I had seen Skerik play more than fifty times, but when my friend and I paid our five bucks to go into a small little backroom at the Owl & Thistle in Seattle, I had no idea what was coming. It was as if this was some secret show in some old-time speakeasy where you had to have a password. This was the most memorable Skerik performance I had ever seen. Traditionally jazzy in places, but funkier than Coltrane or Sonny Rollins ever dreamed. Just organ, drums and a large horn section. If you don't know Skerik, or the Seattle jazz scene in general, start with this. Craig Flory, and Joe Doria soar on this disc also."
