Raleigh’s Savage Knights’ intense power jazz sprunk be wafting throughout the fresh Spring air with all the other great sounds, smells and tastes of the evening. Think early 70s King Crimson at The Kraken, setting the pace for a huge night.
“[Raleigh's Savage Knights] tend toward rather terse and tightly arranged pieces that are more likely to last for five scripted minutes than barrel ahead for an indeterminate length. Yet [Savage Knights] piggyback the fierce tones of giants like Albert Ayler and Eric Dolphy to their elaborate constructions, affording meticulous music the kind of urgency one might expect from radical improvisation. The Knights twist shards of glinting metal and deranged noise into their pieces…” – Grayson Currin, IndyWeek
