Keeping in fashion with the theme of vocal lead samples and harmonic chorus styled chants, "Life After Dennison Instrumentals" continues from where the "Dennison Point Instrumentals" left off. Smooth, often melancholic and swinging from subtle to upfront, Funky DL demonstrates once again how to taste-make with breaks from a variety of sources and constructs a conceptual long-player landscape of superb instrumental audio.

Funky DL for many years has been considered somewhat of an anomaly in the UK Hip-Hop scene. As an enthusiastic teenager hailing from Hackney, East London, his early endeavours saw him respectively securing a five- album record and publishing deal with Almo Sounds and Rondor Music Publishing back in 1997. In the same year, DL would end up winning a MOBO Award for Best Hip-Hop Act with his debut album “Classic Was The Day” (subsequently being nominated for the same award in the next two consecutive years). From therein, his focus began to shift towards becoming an international Hip-Hop icon, directing his music to audiences in Europe and Japan.

At 14 years old, Funky DL and his older brother permanently moved from living with their Mother in Hackney to living with their Father in London’s Borough of Newham. It was this significant change that would begin to shape the most formative years of his transition from childhood into adulthood and his relentless pursuit into the world of music.

Following the prestige of Funky DL's 2012 Nights In Nippon Jazzstrumentals Album, the Beat-Making, Rhyme-Slaying Kid from the East returns with another 10 track beats bonanza! 'Incognito In Soho' is Funky DL's brand new instrumental album aimed at encapsulating the moods, colors, character and ambient vibes of late night and city life. With each track crafted as a fresh landscape for this project, this cohesive listening experience of 10 tracks in under 40 minutes showcases Funky DL's unmatched ability to curate beats and samples through layering, comprehensive filtering and effortless whilst meticulous arrangement. Many beat-makers release beat-tapes compiling old and second-rate throw away music from their archives, but DL's approach here is no different from when he is preparing to produce new music for his vocal work; only the best beats will do. This one of the fundamental reasons that Funky DL has been for so long considered a global treasure in Jazz and Hip-Hop production. 'Incognito In Soho' intends to take the listener through various emotive states from the lament of "The Glimmer of Nightfall", to the excitement of "Gallery of Glass", as well as the contrasts in "Turbulent Serenity", each track allows the listener to lose themselves into the exploration of the night; as if they were 'Incognito In Soho'.

With a 40-year career of recordings that includes classics by everyone from George Benson, Chick Corea and Jaco Pastorius to Eric Clapton, Paul Simon and Steely Dan, Steve Gadd has a well-deserved reputation as the ultimate session drummer. Gadd doesn’t release many solo projects, but when he does-especially one with baritone saxophonist Ronnie Cuber, organist Joey DeFrancesco and guitarist Paul Bollenback-it’s cause for celebration.

Stan Laferrière's Big One brings everything in jazz history back to life, from the first signs of ragtime to contemporary fusion in a tasty record you can qualify as one half tribute, one half stylistic exercise. Because while each title on the album is a Laferrière composition, they have that familiar sound which could turn them into standards as great the music they recall. Educational value, yes, but apart from any questions of period or style, this is a jazz orchestra combining power with nuance, and its precision makes it stand out thanks to Stan Laferrière's unique feel for arrangements and his skill in instrumentation.

Kamasi Washington releases his new album, Fearless Movement, via Young. Washington calls Fearless Movement his dance album. “It’s not literal,” Washington says. “Dance is movement and expression, and in a way it’s the same thing as music—expressing your spirit through your body. That’s what this album is pushing.” Dance as an embodied form of expression signals a shift in focus for Washington. Where previous albums dealt with cosmic ideas and existential concepts, Fearless Movement focuses in on the everyday, an exploration of life on earth. This change in scope is due in large part to the birth of Washington’s first child a few years ago.
