Blue Note e Decca Records rilasceranno una compilation dal titolo Blue Note Re:imagined contenente una collezione di tracce del catalogo Blue Note, rivisitate da una schiera di talentuosi artisti della scena UK Jazz, soul e R&B.
Il progetto rappresenta un ponte tra la tradizione e il presente, includendo i contributi di Shabaka Hutchings, Ezra Collective, Nubya Garcia, Mr Jukes, Steam Down, Skinny Pelembe, Emma-Jean Thackray, Poppy Ajudha, Jordan Rakei, Fieh, Ishmael Ensemble, Blue Lab Beats, Melt Yourself Down, Yazmin Lacey, Alfa Mist e Jorja Smith che proprio negli ultimi giorni ha già pubblicato la sua versione di Rose Rouge di St Germain, primo singolo di Blue Note Re:imagined.
Sulla release il capo della Blue Note Don Was ha detto: “The music of Blue Note Records owes its enduring relevance to the fact that, throughout its 81-year history, the artists on the label consistently pushed the envelope of contemporary music. Blue Note Re:imagined continues that tradition by viewing the label’s legacy thru the lens of the UK scene’s most inventive young artists.”
Queste, invece, le parole di Rachel Holmberg della Decca: “Blue Note Re:imagined celebrates some of this iconic label’s finest jazz recordings, through the eyes of some of today’s finest jazz artists. Many of the artists involved have grown up listening to the legendary Blue Note catalogue and for many it inspired them to get into music in the first place. For Ezra Collective, who have re-imagined Wayne Shorter’s ‘Footprints’, this was the first jazz track the band ever learnt to play together, which makes this record all the more important to share with the world!”
Non ci resta che dirti qual è la data d’uscita di questa meraviglia: 25 settembre.
