The Sultan’s Swing – The Sultan’s Swing Sessions II 12″ – Colin Curtis Presents
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.
