ALBUMS OF THE WEEK

DEEP JAZZ - THE MEETING - CD - PERFECT TOY - NEW - £12.99 Deep Jazz is the brainchild of acoustic bass player Jerker Kluge.  ‘The Meeting follows on from ‘Heaven And Earth’ and kicks off with Freddie Hubbard’s ‘Little Sunflower – a song that needs little introduction and is given a sublime take.  ‘The Meeting’ is strong groove led Spiritual Jazz. Julia Fehenberger’s vocals are a feature and work especially on the swinging ‘Don’t Get Drowned’.  Try the peaceful ‘East And West’  ‘The Meeting’ flows, grooves and is essential for lovers of contemporary Jazz that owes a nod or two or three to the sixties.
