Sean Khan Feat Omar – Don’t Let the Sun Go Down / There Is Something New

Saxophonist Sean Khan is a multi-instrumentalist distinguished for his ability to fuse traditional jazz with contemporary styles. His involvement in the West London broken beat scene as band leader of the cult soul/ jazz outfit SK Radicals and as a collaborator with the likes of the Bugz in the Attic collective, have seen his unique breed of jazz put to full effect in London’s clubs, at nights like the legendary bruk orientated ‘CoOp’.

‘Don’t Let The Sun Go Down’ is uplifting and sophisticated dance-floor jazz. Dego and Marc Mac (4hero), two pioneers of broken beat, jungle and UK dance music as a whole, re-work the single from ‘Muriel’ into a delicately crafted downtempo number, which tames the original somewhat with club focused intentions, yet retains all of its fluidity and groove. Along with the eminence of rhythmic elements, Omar’s instantly recognizable, thick and soulful vocals are sparsely and subtly layered to create beguiling, unconventional harmonies. Elevating the track to its peak, Sean Khan’s exquisite alto sax solo demonstrates both his technical prowess and keen understanding of jazz’s history, whilst working to carve out its future.
