the cinematic orchestra - "everyday" lp [ninja tune] - jazz runnings 2002 style! swinscoe and the crew keep it fresh but never lose that cinematic sound.

sun ra and his arkestra - "india" [el saturn] - bonkers pianist, arkestra leader and complete genius indulges the listener in "a vibrant thought in sound, projecting to the mind the feel of the soul of india". nice!

duke pearson - "the phantom" [blue note] - title track of one of duke's finest lps- evocative, moody, dirty and ultimately very funky indeed.

horace silver - "the aztec sun god" [blue note] - incredible tribal jazz bizznizz from the 1978 "silver'n percussion" lp. one side dedicated to african ascension, the other to american indian uprising with horace donning a different traditional outfit on each side of the sleeve!

sun ra - "satellites" (zero db and dj hectic mix) [mo smog] - second entry from the raster, but this time a remix of the crazy one by fluid ounce head honchos zero db and one dj hectic, aka monsieur peterson! brings new meaning to the term "dancefloor jazz".

naima - "eastern rebellion" [imagem] - surprisingly good 70's version of the coltrane classic by pianist cedar walton and pals.

arnold jarvis – “where has love gone” [kif] - maw style finesse, for music heads and sincere arnold fans.

shaun escoffrey – “days like this” (dj spen & karizma /dj spinna remixes) [oyster music] - whether it’s spinna’s downtempo vibe or the solid rocking beats of the bb’s, this sparks quality in a uk voice of the future.

the shadow kings – “get strong” [chez music] - this is like going back to our roots with an infectious bassline.

fritz valley project – “the story of mr müller” [transfusion] - it’s a house of jazz sounds for crowds who want something other than the status quo of regimental 4 to the floor beats.
