In recent years London has become an epicenter for experimental, visionary jazz. On this unique session, two of the finest exponents of the London jazz scene, Tamar Osborn and Al MacSween, join forces with members of the celebrated Danish psychedelic underground – Jonas Munk, Jakob Skøtt and Martin Rude – to create a heady sonic brew. On this first volume of material there’s everything one could hope for in such a collaboration: sonically it summons the free flowing euphoria of Alice Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders’ work in the late 1960s and early 1970s. But there’s also a focus on rhythmic energy and vitality that calls to mind the grooviest krautrock or electric period Miles Davis, as well as a healthy dose of electronic experiments.

One for the jazz fans as much as the psych lovers here, as Jonas Munk, Jakob Skøtt and Martin Rude (members of many groups including Sun River, Causa Sui, Videodrones, Chicago Odense Ensemble) hopped on a plane over to Blighty to jam it out with Tamar Osborn and Al MacSween. ‘Jaiyede Sessions Vol. 1’ is a colourful, vibrant trip of 70s fusion grooves, kosmische improv, and dubby ambient, with the instrumentation splitting its time between the electric and electronic, and the organic and analogue.
