Greg Foat – Symphonie Pacifique | Album of the day 7th of July 2020

Pianist and composer Greg Foat was in a rich vein of form in 2019 with an armful of albums and collaborations and this year sees no let up as he follows his joint project with Linkwood with a sublime album of jazz, classical and ambient. The surging title track brings to mind the likes of GoGo Penguin, the pulsating ‘Anticipation’ is a swaggering slab of sax lead jazz while the muscular ‘Yonaguni’ is carried along on bubbling percussion and a chunky bass that gives it an irresistible groove. ‘Island Life’ has a raw, funky head nodding groove that brings it...

Izo Fitzroy – How The Mighty Fall | Album of the day 6th of July 2020

Izo Fitzroy returns following her superb 2017 offering ‘Skyline’ with an even better album in the form of ‘How The Mighty Fall’. Izo’s background in gospel gives her incredible voice a strength that, when met with the blues, takes it to another plane. The emotive, defiant ‘I Ain’t Here For Your Pleasure’ is a gritty blues number that sets the tone for this brilliant album that is both confessional and a declaration of intent. The musicianship is totally on point here and the breadth of styles works incredibly well to give the set a self-contained cohesion. ‘Red Line’ is a...

Simon Jefferis – Vibrations | Album of the day 30th of June 2020

Brilliant debut album from London producer and multi-instrumentalist Simon Jefferis, this 11 track set takes in a broad landscape of sounds and styles with some humorous skits thrown in that illustrate the depth of creativity here. There’s a hip hop feel to the tempo and vibe of some of the cuts here but underpinning it all is a rich well of soul and jazz that brings this album into the cannon of new jazz being created in the capital. The gorgeous, laid back ‘White Rabbit’ is soulful gem featuring Rosie Lowe, Ezra Collective’s Dylan Jones lends his tones to the...

Ann Sexton – Loving You, Loving Me | Album of the day 29th of June 2020

Ann Sexton was a niece of Chuck Jackson and released this hard to find album in 1973. The northern soul classic 'You've Been Gone Too Long' features as well as the punchy funk classic 'You're Losing Me'. The pacey 'I Still Love You' is a superb uptempo cut with searing horns and a perfect tempo for progressive, funky-end soul dancefloors while slower numbers like the sumptuous southern ballad 'Come Back Home' and the stunning 'Loving You, Loving Me' (also covered by Sandra Wright) are also standouts. In truth the whole album is a winner...a well balanced mix of slower, deep...
