Jessica Ackerley

At home in modern jazz, free jazz, noise and DIY rock settings, ex-NYC, now Honolulu-based guitarist Jessica Ackerley “weaves a distinctive path between atonality and tonality, noise and notes, while bringing heart to a style that can often reside in the head (Guitar Moderne). Ackerley performs in groups like SSWAN, MAW, and their own trio, and regularly collaborates with Patrick Shiroishi, Daniel Carter, and many others.

KneeJerk

Featuring Brian Horswill piano, Karlis Silins bass and Kenton Loewen drums, KneeJerk’s free jazz plays with minimalism and evokes chaos. Between the nearly-tangible and a wild, almost playful din, the trio obscures form to create a strange and beautiful jangle. Watch for their debut record, coming soon on local creative jazz label The Infidels.
