The young British jazz scene is on the rise, and Don Was, the president of the
legendary Blue Note label, has clearly noticed this. Heâ€™s dived into his
rich catalogue in search of material for covers intended to pay tribute to the
jazz tradition whilst shaking things up with some contemporary rhythms and
energy. After the international success of the first compilation featuring
musicians such as Shabaka Hutchings, Jordan Rakei and Jorja Smith, the second
volume of the Blue Note Re:imagined series is now here (with a brand-new cast,
of course). If you can get on board with the overarching concept that sees
everything unite under the standard song format, with vocals on the majority of
tracks (most of which are predominantly female), the record is a joy to listen
to and even contains some veritable successes.

With original tracks borrowed from Donald Byrd, Wayne Shorter and Chick Corea,
as well as Norah Jones, Neil Young, Grant Green and Chico Hamilton, this is a
very coherent and ultimately very â€˜uniformâ€™ album (underneath the
surface-level differences) presented by this collection of musicians who
represent the richness and diversity of the British jazz (from the singer Ego
Ella May to the London duo Venna & Marco and Conor Albert from Ninja Tune).
Depending on your taste, you might enjoy the seductive lo-fi vocals or the
arrangers' skilful mixing of styles (the beautiful orchestral version of Donald
Byrd's 'Miss Kane' by Swindle is particularly striking). However, there are a
selection of covers that recreate the original material with such talent and
imagination that they almost single handedly give the album its sense of depth
and dimension: trumpeter Yazz Ahmed (Chick Corea's â€˜Itâ€™), tuba
player Theon Cross (Thelonious Monk's â€˜Epistrophyâ€™) and Nubiyan
Twist (Donald Byrd's â€˜Through the Noise (Chant 2)â€™). Â©
