Kansas Smitty's - Plunderphonia (Uk) [LP] Vinyl Record

On this essential new collection of forward-looking jazz reinterpre- tations, Kansas Smitty's bandleader Giacomo Smith delves deep into the catalogues of celebrated yet often overlooked artists that inspire his work with Kansas Smitty's; Jelly Roll Morton, Bix Beiderbeck, even Maurice Ravel. Created for the 'Plunderphonia' series for 7K!, itself a reinterpretation of the acclaimed !K7 DJ-Kicks series, the album owes as much to Giacomo's decade of living and playing in London as it does to the forefathers of jazz that he is paying homage to here. The release will be marked with a show for the London Jazz Festival at Earth in Hackney on 20th November.A1 High Society (04:22)A2 New Orleans Bump (06:05) A3 Inner Mist (04:26)A4 Blue River (03:43)A5 Water Dance (05:08)B1 Mamanita (05:13)B2 Jungle Blues (05:14)B3 Ganjam (04:58)B4 Pearls (03:39)
