Bleep

Herbie Hancock, St Germain, McCoy Tyner, Wayne Shorter: each of these names synonymous with the jazz innovations expounded by the legendary Blue Note imprint. Blue Note Re:Imagined retools their seismic influence by giving modern artists the unenviable task of reworking and reimagining their classics into equally futuristic shapes of jazz to come. Luckily, the results are every bit as wonderful as the originals, with an unwavering eye towards variety to boot. Jorja Smith transforms ‘Rose Rouge’ into a hypnotic neo-soul wanderer, while UK jazz stalwarts Ezra Collective and Skinny Pelembe morph Shorter and Andrew Hill standards into ruthlessly forward-thinking structures.
