The usual grift of jazz, jazz-funk and acid jazz instrumentation &#8211; plus trip-hop, downtempo, dub, Balearica, and Latinesque beats &#8211; are heard in full swing here, with an extra linseed oiling for the dancefloor. Rapid club-bound bossa nova sets the scene on &#8216;Thinking Of You&#8217;, while &#8216;Copenhagen Connection&#8217; 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 &#8216;As I Walk On By&#8217;, replete with guest singer, redrapes the Dionne Warwick hookline in looser jazz culottes.<\/p>\n<p>Label: Colin Curtis Presents<br \/>\nFormat: 12&#8243;<br \/>\nCat: CCP 15<br \/>\nReleased: 08 Apr 25<br \/>\nGenre: Broken Beat\/Nu Jazz<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.juno.co.uk\/products\/the-sultans-swing-sessions-ii-vinyl\/1078658-01\/?ref=motionfm&#038;utm_source=affiliate&#038;utm_medium=affiliate&#038;utm_campaign=affiliate_dashboard_referral\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>BUY<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nTracklist<br \/>\nSide A<br \/>\n1. &#8220;Francisco Returns&#8221; 5:26<br \/>\n2. &#8220;Thinking Of You&#8221; 6:05<\/p>\n<p>Side B<br \/>\n1. &#8220;Creative Impulses&#8221; 3:59<br \/>\n2. &#8220;Copenhagen Connection&#8221; 3:34<br \/>\n3. &#8220;As I Walk On By&#8221; (Improvised Jam edit) 6:38<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A veritable wave-making machine in the infinity pool of British nu-jazz, producer Tom Funk rocks up with another 12&#8243; instalment in &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":20585,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[16],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20584"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20584"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20584\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20586,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20584\/revisions\/20586"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
