Backyard Tire Fire - "How In The Hell Did You Get Back Here?"
In a recent observation on the state of jazz in the 21st century, music journalist Milo Miles wrote, "By now, it's a simple fact: funk and hip-hop are the foundation for jazz that gospel and blues used to be." It's a discerning statement that cuts to the chase, and in the process, quite possibly frames the current standard for modern jazz and the new generation of audience that's fast developing along with the music. If indeed the case, then June 27, 2006 is cause for celebration when Skerik's Syncopated Taint Septet arrives with its new album Husky on HYENA Records.
