Time out. Out of time. Jazz which flirts with the very concept of time. ‘Take Five’ is a track written in 5/4 time and it’s exquisite. Your sub-concious tries to follow along but fails as the rhythms are unusual and fresh. In fact the whole album has a very crisp and fresh jazz sound which at the time must have been staggering, as it still sounds good today.

Having just seen Keith Jarrett live last night at the royal festival hall in London I thought it would be fitting to post another Keith Jarrett album to keep you all entertained. While it’s not the Koln Concert this album is still spectacular, in particular the first 30 mins of the first track is really beautiful music which will carry you away. Even if you’re not into jazz I strongly suggest that you look into Keith Jarrett – I think you’ll find it crosses genres.

Reggae. Only with a touch of funk. Lovely percussive melodies, not too much vocals and heavy, lazy funky music. I suggest you serve this album with plenty of chill and a big cloud of smoke, of whichever substance takes your fancy. Particular favourite from the album is ‘make dub not war’ which is a lovely slow shuffling track which makes you feel like you’re in the Caribbean.
