This formula has been tried on a number of occasions over the years: some albums have produced some classy new interpretations, but, more often than not, remixing jazz classics hasn’t quite come up to scratch. Dopeness Galore have already released the excellent compilation “Timeless Finest Jazz” which gave us a taster from the massive back catalogue of Timeless Records, and now they’ve brought in the remixers. I am glad to say that here are some of the best re-works to date. Domu’s broken beat version of “Nerada” works a treat, as does Alex Attias’ remix of Art Blakey’s Kenji’s Walk, which goes back to his Bel Air Project days. The combination of Mark De Clive-Lowe and Bembe Segue as The Politik was always going to be a winner and I.N.T produce two tracks, one with Rich Medina and the other with Melodee, which will keep the heads happy. I’ll leave you to check out the rest in your own time.
