What better way to celebrate 20 years since Jazzanova released 'In Between' with it's then unique mix of what were labelled as acid jazz broken beat, downtempo, nu-jazz, future jazz, hip-hop and house; no wonder it was not only groundbreaking but also so influencial and it was their debut album to boot!
Their last album was a joint venture into 'Strata Records - The Sound Of Detroit Reimagined by Jazzanova (see review HERE) which clearly gave them the confidence to take on a live version of their own masterpiece recorded in Leichtenstein at the Little Big Beat Studios as a live band.
'That Night', 'No Use' (featuring Clara HIll), 'Days To Come' and the modern classic 'Mwela, Mela' all sound new and particularly fresh whilst old fans will recall how important the remix 12s were back in the dayDays To Come (Ayro Remix and Ian O'Brien Remix) 'That Night' (Wah-Chu-Ku Perspective and the Vikter Duplaix remix
Absolutely stunning whether you know the orginals or not - has the feeling of a organic jazz rebirth from the seed to the full developed beast. Jazzanova forever!
