British jazz has open boarders to the Third Island Land as Daylight Robbery has joined forces with Nick Marks on potentialy the highlight of spiritual jazz fusion with hip-hop for 2025.
We know the power of Nick Marks, he of 'Cinematic Chromatics' (see review HERE) and there's more than a hint of McCoy Tyner on 'Invitation Unknown' along with a Nostalgia 77 quality - it's a link jazz-fusion link with the spiritual jazz of Nādt Orchestra (the album 'Dualism' is out this week too (see review HERE).
We've had the single 'Inivitation Unknown' on the YATM hi-fi now for some weeks so it's glad to finally get the album, as it touches a bit of 'prog' wit 'Tonight's Entertainment', a bit of coral/ dnb and Nick's beautiful jazz keys (throughout but highlighted on 'Satyr Ceremony') is the connection throughout.
No idea who Daylight Robbery is (described as "British jazz producer" but there's a synergy here with Mr. Marks that's got some early Ninja Tune/Cinematic Orchestra tinkerings about it.
Perfect jazz to add to Melting Pot's mix along with FloFilz (see review HERE) with more classy artwork too!
