  • Bio

    The Acker Bros are Boston based composers, musicians and producers with a knack for creating largely overlooked jazz based music designed to lull the listener into a state of confused euphoria. They have a large, loyal and extremely good looking underground following and hope very much that you will support them in their quest for excellence in high fidelity recording.

“Not Acker Bilk, Acker BROTHERS, you nit-wit!”…was the voice message from my editor, after I had just submitted what I considered to be a superior piece of journalism. I cringed…Not that Fuzak outfit out of Boston!..I sighed, and set myself to the task. After all, one must put food on the table mustn’t one? In fact, I had covered and critiqued the brothers in a former life at the (Jazz) Examiner, where my work was under-appreciated, and it was agreed that I was free to explore other opportunities. To the point: Yet again, the ever-indefinable Acker Brothers—masters of the marginal—have assembled a collection of utterly unrelated musical nuggets. The opening cut (Cherries Jubilee) will have you waxing nostalgic for the days of slippery backbones and purple polka-dot punch-bugs. The remainder of this angular musical sojourn will have you bouncing like a pinball through brooding ballads, stripped-down swingers, handsome hoedowns, carnival nights, and electronic assaults. Like a box of chocolates for jazz lovers—you never know what’s inside each piece until you take a bite (or poke a hole in the back). The stable of skilled players on-hand for this project brings substance and verve to the overall performance, however beware: Moldy-fig Jazz purists may find this record as appealing as Bordeaux in a box. But if you can dig it…then dig it. Herb Fountainbleu - Akron After Dark ..   I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)..
