The SULTAN'S SWING
The Sultan's Swing Sessions II
Colin Curtis Presents
12" Cat: CCP 15Rel: 14 Apr 25
Broken Beat/Nu Jazz/Nu Soul Side 1 - Track 1. Francisco Returns Side 1 - Track 2. Thinking Of You Side 2 - Track 1. Creative Impulses Side 2 - Track 2. Copenhagen Connection Side 2 - Track 3. As I Walk On By (Improvised Jam edit)
A veritable wave-making machine in the infinity pool of British nu-jazz, producer Tom Funk rocks up with another 12" instalment in his The Sultan's Swing Project, linking with Colin Curtis Presents for a five-track EP to complement the three LPs reeled off the top so far. The usual grift of jazz, jazz-funk and acid jazz instrumentation - plus trip-hop, downtempo, dub, Balearica, and Latinesque beats - are heard in full swing here, with an extra linseed oiling for the dancefloor. Rapid club-bound bossa nova sets the scene on 'Thinking Of You', while 'Copenhagen Connection' suggests a potential sonic espionage link between London and Denmark, as a moment of Baltic dark jazz marks the only point of downtime on the record. A closing 'As I Walk On By', replete with guest singer, redrapes the Dionne Warwick hookline in looser jazz culottes.
