Acid jazz pioneer Chris Bangs and former Style Council keyboardist Mick Talbot reunite for Smokin’ Aces, their follow-up to 2022’s Back To Business. Building on sell-out singles like “Sumthin’ Else” and “K-Jee,” the album blends global influences into a timeless, “retrophonic but contemporary” acid jazz sound. Recorded over two years with a range of guest musicians, the 12-track record marks a major milestone for these two influential artists and the wider acid jazz genre.
