'Got The Hunger?' Alice Russell Live @ Canal Plus
The Jack Baker Trio is a busy man, a lucky man, a man that spends a lot of time on touring with amazing musicians and partying in random countries.
The one man trio plays the drums for the cinematic Ninjatune artist Bonobo, and stunning soul singer Alice Russell but he is also a music producer, studio owner, lighting designer, music company director, Cd duplicator and T-Shirt maker.
The list just goes on.
Between shows, Jack finds time to record in his classic valve studio, to produce music that is inspired by two of the most legendary bands ever, The Meters and The Roots.
The summer of 2008 will bring an album that showcases Jacks playing to date, Tm Juke and the Jack baker Trio will release their album called ‘Boto and The Second Liners’. This will be released by Brighton label Tru-Thoughts. Check this out on tru-thoughts.co.uk
The Jack Baker Trio has also just had some music used for the recent Miller beer advert:
Alice Russell - Live Recording
TM Juke and the Jack Baker Trio present ‘Boto And The Second Liners’ , a carnival-spirited album moving from the ‘80s New York street party feel of junkyard, go-go music and old school inspired hip hop; through the funk and soul of Memphis and the Mardi Gras of New Orleans; and south to Latin America and Brazilian samba. The record boasts some great guest performers – most notably singers Alice Russell, Kathrin deBoer of Belleruche and Andreya Triana, and genre-bending Spanish singer Gecko Turner (Lovemonk). The ‘Boto And The Second Liners’ project was born when TM Juke and Jack Baker were on tour with the Alice Russell band, passing their time in airports and vans by cataloguing songs that could be reworked in a South American stylee. The original plan was for an album of covers, but once the pair got to work, the covers were dropped in favour of original rhythmic masterpieces. Written and recorded in less than two months, the album was all played live – not a sample in sight – and nearly all the percussion and drums are single takes. The pair avoided ironing out too many creases and tried not to over-produce, and as a result the recordings have a rough and ready feel and that unique, palpable live energy
we took last weekend off to make a new beattape. Raw shit. Made 15
beats in one weekend with hardly any sleep at all.. we're addicts.

Yo Jack Baker Trioasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
We are proud to present our current album "True Fidelity". Electro-acoustic chillout, lounge and easy-listening well mixed and always ready to surprise you. We hope you enjoy our work. Further we wanna thank your for your support so far and give away 5 songs of our album!
