INSPIRED BY KING CURTIS, TERRY HANCK (CHICAGO, 1944) HAS BEEN A LEADING FIGURE AMONG SOUL-BLUES SAXOPHONISTS FOR THE PAST FORTY YEARS. IN THE LATE 1960S, HE MOVED TO THE WEST COAST AND FOUNDED HIS FIRST BAND, THE GRAYSON STREET HOUSEROCKERS. SHORTLY AFTERWARD, HE JOINED ELVIN BISHOP'S BAND, WITH WHOM HE RECORDED AND TOURED FOR A DECADE. AFTER LEAVING ELVIN, HE LAUNCHED A SUCCESSFUL CAREER AS A SIDEMAN UNTIL 1997, WHEN HE RELEASED HIS FIRST SOLO ALBUM. HANCK’S MUSIC IS ROOTED IN CLASSIC ROCK 'N' ROLL, NEW ORLEANS RHYTHM & BLUES, AND 1960S SOUL. AS A SAXOPHONIST, HE ATTACKS EACH NOTE WITH COMPELLING FEROCITY. HIS SOUND IS STEEPED IN THE WISDOM OF A COMPLETE, SEASONED, AND INTELLIGENT MUSICIAN WHO AVOIDS CLICHÉS TO DELIVER A MUSICAL SYNTHESIS THAT HONORS TRADITIONAL FORMS WHILE EXPLORING MODERNITY AND SHARED BEAUTY.. KID ANDERSEN, JIM PUGH, JP SOARS, ALONG WITH HIS LONGTIME COLLABORATORS JOHNNY SOUBRAND AND JON OTIS, FORM AN UNBEATABLE TEAM THAT PROMISES AN EXCEPTIONAL ALBUM.
