A fabulous swirling concoction of jazz and psychedelia by a top-class group of London musicians reinterpreting Miles Davis’ 1970 album Bitches Brew and his ode to Jimi Hendrix (Miles Runs the Voodoo Down). The ensemble includes luminaries Benji B, Theon Cross, Nubya Garcia, Shabaka Hutchings, Dave Okumu and Tom Skinner, a supergroup of jazz crossover contemporaries including those from Sons of Kemet.
Saxophonist Nubya Garcia explains: “Both Miles and Jimi were innovators who carved their own lanes, which is something I’ve aspired to in my own career. For a while now I’ve been experimenting and using pedals and effects with my instrument, so to be able to do that on this track, while paying tribute to their legacies, was a joy both creatively and personally.”
The track comes from the group’s forthcoming self-titled album, due out on 31 March on Concord Records.
