Tank Goodness

Gentle Art of Music, 2012

Tank-GoodnessIt is a more than fitting name for this band: When hearing the name “Panzerballett” (Engl.: tank ballett) from Munich, the international music scene is pricking it’s ears. Generally, the gaggle of guest musicians on Tank Goodness is downright illustrious: Mattias ‘IA’ Ekludh, Conny Kreitmeier and the world-famous trumpeter Randy Brecker, who is honoring the band by performing his own jazz rock milestone Some Skunk Funk together with Panzerballett after 36 years! The unequaled fusion of jazz and metal – called “Verkrassung” (“phatting”) – is now at the peak of it’s meaning, especially when looking at all the brilliant VIP guest musicians.
