Four successful jazz musicians take on 60s Surf music. Three of them formed a trio called Expressway Sketches, and all of them have made big splashes with their respective own bands – touring the world, racking up prestigious awards, earning rave reviews. Now, finally, here is their first album solely devoted to original songs in the Surf idiom – aptly titled „Love Surf Music“.
Surf music was a mostly instrumental pop/rock music in the early to mid 60s. More recently, filmmaker Quentin Tarantino revived Surf music, using the genre's classic songs extensively in his films.
The Expressway Sketches now breathtakingly combine this tradition with their very own fresh, forward-minded views on jazz and improvisation.
These guys LOVE SURF MUSIC. And so will you!
