Reviews

November 2020

Blue Note Re:imagined shines a light on the fertile British scene and connects it to the tradition by inviting 15 of the UK’s most talked-about artists (plus kindred spirits Fieh from Oslo) to rework classic tunes from the label’s back catalogue. The results are as wideranging and genre-fluid as you’d expect.

16th October

Re:imagined embraces the less strict genre confines of the modern UK sound, and the results offer some unique interpretations of (mostly) classic jazz tunes. In a scene where bandleaders prefer to play their own material rather than call upon the standards, hearing some of these players give their own takes on old tunes is interesting in itself. That they’re able to be so creative with these old charts is something else.
