TRIO AAB
Phil Bancroft-tenor saxophone, Kevin Mackenzie-guitar, Tom Bancroft-drums
‘I don’t like jazz, but this I liked very much’. A response that is heard often when it concerns the Scottish Trio AAB that, in all its extreme adventures, never forgets to amuse the audience. The extremity lies in the enormous range of influences, from The Sound of Music to drum ’n bass, from Celtic folk via grunge to Ornette Coleman. The name AAB doesn’t just stand for a music schedule, two times the same and then something new, but also for twin brothers Tom and Phil Bancroft and the other genes of Kevin McKenzie. They stand for surprise, the integration of the unexpected in known pieces. This is something that the group achieves, despite the fun, with great competence and intense combined play.
