#PAKT is asking for help with touring expenses. They're selling a pre-order of a limited-edition fan CD. https://1krecordings.bandcamp.com/merch/pre-order-pakt-live-on-tour-limited-edition-signed-by-percy-jones-alex-skolnick-kenny-grohowski-tim-motzer #PercyJones #AlexSkolnick #KennyGrohowski #TimMotzer #ImprovisedMusic #jazz

New #review today: "One of the things #MoonjuneRecords is known for is putting together superb groups of musicians who do not represent a standing group — sometimes for improvisations and sometimes to perform the compositions of one or another of the participants. The Gathering is one of the latter, guitarist #MarkWingfield with #AsafSirkis on drums and #GaryHusband on keyboards; the bass chair is filled by #TonyLevin on six tracks and #PercyJones on four." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/mark-wingfield-the-gathering-2.html

New #review today: "#PercyJones, #AlexSkolnick, #KennyGrohowski, and #TimMotzer, collectively known as #PAKT, list ten releases on their Bandcamp page as of this writing. Most of them are billed as “live albums,” but with this band, that’s somewhat misleading. All of their albums are recorded live — it’s just that some are recorded live in a studio, and some are recorded at venues with audiences." #ExposeOnline #ImprovisedMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/pakt-no-steps-left-to-trace-2.html

Speaking of #PAKT here's some video from a recent show. #PercyJones #AlexSkolnick #KennyGrohowski #TimMotzer #improvisation #ImprovisedMusic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJQExCrCvrU
