From the moment you see the front cover (a clear homage to the first album from Guru's Jazzmatazz series) you've got a pretty good idea of what the deal is here.
Wailing sax, outstanding live drums and funky grooves are the main attractions, played by a bunch of musicians who've performed with various Blue Note legends.
It's all served up in every format imaginable along with a bunch of construction kits for good measure.
Perfect for producers of laid-back Hip Hop or downtempo Breakbeat and maybe even anyone trying to come up with a unique twist on the resurgent Bristol sound.
