Transmissions From Total Refreshment Centre

London's Total Refreshment Centre isn't just a great name for a community music hub, It's a representation of thriving revitalisation of jazz at the moment. This collection (with the stamp of approval from Blue Note Records) features nu-jazz, hip-hop, soul and drill from the ones-to-watch of modern jazz. Soccer96, Matters Unknown, Neue Grafik and the similarly brilliantly-named Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange all make an appearance. A stunning compilation that sits between 'Jazzmatazz' and Byrd's 'Places & Spaces'. - Hunter

All the best music has a community underneath it. The extended family around London’s Total Refreshment Centre (TRC) connects continents and generations, creating the rich relationships in full effect on Transmissions From Total Refreshment Centre. It’s an eclectic and electric collection that draws from new school jazz, hip hop, dub, soul, funk, and drill: sounds you’ll hear trailing out of cars as they spin up the Kingsland Road or spiraling out of doorways like so much smoke.

Turn it up loud to hear the widescreen young cousins of Guru’s landmark Jazzmatazz in full effect: top players from London, Chicago, and Melbourne seeking out new collaborations, new ways of working, or just new tunes, always coming back to that central truth – that we all need each other.
