ESSENTIAL LISTENING : RE:JAZZ - KALEIDOSCOPE
























The fifth studio album from Frankfurt based Jazz band, re:jazz was released late last year to coincide with their 10 year anniversary. In the last few years, re:jazz have become one of the biggest Jazz bands to come out of Germany & they've been sought after for their re-works by other artists.

This album features the likes of Alex Reneimer (Jazzanova) on production duties , N'dea Davenport(Brand New Heavies), mediha (the new voice of re:jazz), Nathalie Schafer(Nekta) & Andrew Herbertson(Joash) lending their vocals to what is an incredible piece of work.

I only got my hands on the album a few weeks ago & there's no doubt why it made it to my notable albums of 2012- it's probably up there with the jazz records of 2012 in my opinion. My favourite cuts on the album include lambic 9 poetry, Don't push your luck, tears, at first glance, out of phase (you & me), windy city, wonders of the world & it's all good.

Take a listen to the album sampler below & if you like what you've heard, check the links below to purchase the album.
