He&#8217;s already released a trio of fine albums under the alias, each of which combines authentic jazz, jazz-funk and acid jazz instrumentation (provided courtesy of a rotating cast of guest musicians) with nods to trip-hop, downtempo, dub, Balearica and Latin beats. The Sultan&#8217;s Swing Sessions, Funk&#8217;s contribution to the Colin Curtis Presents series, takes a similar approach, with predictably excellent results. Our picks of a very strong bunch are the gently spaced-out dancefloor Latin jazz of &#8216;Lotta Arlotto&#8217;, the summery jazz-fusion of &#8216;Hitchfunkers Slide To The Galaxy&#8217; and impeccable opener &#8216;The New Beginning&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Label: Colin Curtis Presents<br \/>\nFormat: 12&#8243;<br \/>\nCat: CCP 04<br \/>\nReleased: 06 Jul 22<br \/>\nGenre: Broken Beat\/Nu Jazz<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.juno.co.uk\/products\/the-sultans-swing-sessions-vinyl\/876829-01\/?ref=motionfm&#038;utm_source=affiliate&#038;utm_medium=affiliate&#038;utm_campaign=affiliate_dashboard_referral\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>BUY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tracklist<br \/>\nSide A<br \/>\n1. &#8220;The New Beginning&#8221; 6:35<br \/>\n2. &#8220;Forever Now&#8221; 6:06<\/p>\n<p>Side B<br \/>\n1. &#8220;Hitchfunkers Slide To The Galaxy&#8221; 4:53<br \/>\n2. &#8220;Libera Tu Mente&#8221; 4:02<br \/>\n3. &#8220;Lotta Arlotto&#8221; 4:43<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Those who keep a keen eye on the contemporary British nu-jazz scene should already have encountered producer Tom Funk&#8217;s The Sultan&#8217;s &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":20588,"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\/20587"}],"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=20587"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20587\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20589,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20587\/revisions\/20589"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20588"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20587"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20587"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20587"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
