Having released a collection of their remixes and the remixes done for them, Jazzanova take the next logical step of releasing a mix disc that incorporates both, modelled after their popular club sessions. As you’d hope, the carefully considered track list includes a number of exclusives – from Attica Blues, Extended Spirit, George Levin and Slope – along with some sweet treats courtesy of Jill Scott (A Long Walk), Bahamadia (YouKnowHowWeDo) and Carol Williams (Can’t Get Away) and a couple of Jazzanova faves, while the typically seamless mix is made to match the mood and energy arc of an actual Jazzanova set. Nice. Those seeking the experience of a real Jazzanova session can see them with the fabulous Rainer Trüby as part of Movement at Roxy Blu Wednesday (June 30).
