Acid Jazz aficionados will recall the San Francisco Bay Area acid-jazz-funk quartet, Junk. Three incredibly funky albums (Faffco Records ‘94-‘97), a few Bay Area Music Awards, a two-year residency at the legendary Up & Down Club and a lot of touring and what remains is post junk trio. David Robbins (Baritone Sax) and Frank Swart (Bass) were founding members of Junk and Ian Herman was the band’s drummer during its last year. After Junk’s demise, which left them a trio, their destiny seemed clear...to be post junk trio. Their sound has been described as '70's porno music, Miles a la his Bitches Brew period, instrumental Morphine and MMW if they held on to a groove. They have two CD releases, Reservoir Fish (2001) and Piano (2003).
Individually, they have played with Morphine, Patty Griffin, Sting, Paul Simon, Joshua Redman, Steve Turre, etc...
