The New Jazz

There is a lot of music around that borrows from traditional forms of jazz and soul. Some people are put off by a tag of 'techno', 'house', 'Hip Hop', 'dubstep' or 'broken beat' as they feel by listening to it they are betraying the jazz, soul, rare groove, that first inspired them. But these tags mostly originate from journalists and djs eager to find a catch all phrase for a new style of music. If you are discerning enough, it's possible to find deeply soulful new and innovative forms of jazz and soul in contemporary music. This mix is about new forms of jazz and soul and includes tracks by James Blake, Lone, Sa:Ra Creative Partners and Andreya Triana. I've thrown a lot of new music in here.
