Chris Bangs, acid jazz pioneer, and Mick Talbot, former member of The Style Council, unveil Smokin' Aces, a 12-track album recorded over two years with international musicians. Following their debut album Back To Business (2022) and two sold-out singles, they deliver a contemporary and energetic fusion of influences, true to the "retro but modern" spirit that marks a new stage in their careers and in the history of acid jazz.
