Details
Since their formation in 1996, Partisans have successfully fused the energy of bebop with the swagger of rock, a deep groove of funk and electronica. Together they bring the energy of rock and sophistication reminiscent of the great late 60s jazz-rock groups. Gritty be-bop and hard bop, early electric Miles, rock riffs, grooves and ballads with sustained delicacy - Partisans are one of the first of the new wave of UK jazz bands to be influenced as much by Jimi Hendrix as by Miles Davis or Sonny Rollins and their visceral, groove-based sound bridges the gap between New York swing, European improv and UK jam band.
