PAKT with PERCY JONES - bass (NYC) ALEX SKOLNICK - guitar (NYC) KENNY GROHOWSKI - drums (NYC) TIM MOTZER - guitars, electronics (Philadelphia)   It's the PAKT time with four extraordinary musicians: Percy Jones (Brand X, Brian Eno, David Sylvian, Suzanne Vega), Alex Skolnick (Testament, Alex Skolnick Trio, Metal Allegiance, Trans-Siberian Orchestra), Kenny Grohowski (John Zorn, Brand X, Imperial Triumphant, Hipster Assassins), Tim Motzer (Bandit65, Jaki Liebezeit, David Sylvian, Jamaaladeen Tacuma). PAKT recalls the fearless attitude and daring approach that originally defined progressive music: where the magic of the moment always triumphed over preconception. Templates be damned ... this music blazes its own path! This is truly exquisite fare, serving as a reminder to aficionados of what initially drew them to this most creative, visionary of genres.   Double live album PAKT was recorded live in August of 2020 during the lockdown, at the ShapeShifter Lab in Brooklyn, NYC, on August 15, 2020.  It was released on MoonJune Records, July 22, 2021. https://pakt-moonjune.bandcamp.com/album/pakt   Videos:  https://youtu.be/tws82ik0Sz4 https://youtu.be/ErSSbGrle9E https://youtu.be/hXqt9XiunZ4   The new studio album will be released on MoonJune Records in July, 2023.
