11 Acorn Lane’s song “Crazy Cat” is an homage to all the Jazz musicians who took their axe and left their hometown for New York City – as they did, coming from England and Switzerland respectively.
While “Crazy Cat” includes many musical nods from Big Band to Esquivel to EDM, two have a special place in the two musicians’ hearts: their humble reverence to the vocalese might of The Manhattan Transfer and their loving little tribute to Supersax and by extension their hero Charlie Parker. Their favorite crazy cat is really a bird.
