Perhaps not my usual tipple but when did tiresome, endless labelling get in the way of what is more importantly good music. Three tracks go to make up this new release from the London MNKY HSE Music Director but it’s the blistering combination of infectious sounds that inform Stilgar which really capture and ignite my

Translating into English as The Bear Vultures what could prove to be more fascinating and equal parts refreshing as this poignant, beautiful bold blend of the elements consisting of bass, piano and drums accompanied only by the illumination of the studio. Yes it’s Jazz, but with a massive improvised twist. Its heady, the sort of

Kuljinder is a great record. I love music like this. It explodes upon the horizon in a rush of colour that forgets the past while forging at the future with contemporary sounds that never-the-less are soulfully resonate.

There’s something irresistibly funky going on within Harrison’s taught, informed grooves that fuse punchy kicks together with swinging snares while being tastefully offset by dark, expansive bass and pads. The introspective sounding, I Still Meet You In My Dreams From Time To Time is far from self-indulgence connecting moods and emotions with the listener in
