New York, NY (PRWE
April 26, 2012
The bossa-nova-tinged ‘The Futurist’
is the fourth album from former radio DJ turned journalist Dan
Ackerman. Inspired by his love for classic Brazilian jazz, from Antonio
Carlos Jobim to Sergio Mendes, the album lays bossa beats over indie
jazz rock, with plenty of Rhodes organs and slinky basslines.
Like his previous albums, ‘The Futurist’ is a mix of instrumental and
vocal tracks, combining influences from jazz, funk, and soul, with
lo-fi singer-songwriter rock, creating an eclectic mix of songs that
recall artists from Steely Dan to Beck.
‘The Futurist’ is available now on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, RDIO, and
other online music stores. CDs are available exclusively through
Amazon.
