dance/electronic music i wouldn't have a hard time calling jazz that you
guys might want to look into:
P'taah / COMPRESSED LIGHT
Cinematic Orchestra / MOTION
A recent 12" release called Be Bop Dawg / LES ENFANT AND FLATBUSH is
currently blowing my mind. Other quickies... Big Bang / DRIBBLING, Peter
Kruder / ROOTDOWN, St. Germain / TOURIST, Marc De Clive Lowe / SIX
DEGREES...
Oh almost forgot... the new Jazzanova track on the new MORE BOSSA comp
[Yellow]. Oh my god!!!! This track is absolutely insane. For those that were
complaining a while back about Jazzanova getting a bit predictable and
formulaic, i think this will renew your interest. Very live sounding.
peace,
