The Jack Moves: The Jack Moves

Wax Poetics, the long-running culture magazine and book publisher, has been a potent force of musical exploration since their debut back in 2001. They have also been hitting their stride as a record label, with the recent release of the Bones & Beeker CD and now the Jack Moves' debut album. Comprised of Newark, NJ-based duo singer and multi-instrumentalist Zee Desmondes and drummer/producer Teddy Powell, the Jack Moves deal in the forward-thinking kind of soul music favored by the likes of Jamie Lidell and Mayer Hawthorne, incorporating elements from classic old-school jams, street-worthy hip-hop beats and open-ended indie rock vibes. Wholly organically driven, but full of the sonic touches that make their music stand out in a crowd, the Jack Moves prove Wax Poetics still have their eyes and ears on the ball.
