This week we’re blessed with a guest mix from the Parisian Jazz collective, Jazz Attitudes. Over the past few years, Psycut (Edit / Bab Musique), KoKo (Edit / Boull A One Crew) and Switch “Groov” Exp (Bab Musique) have organised some damn fine parties promoting dancefloor jazz culture. So when they contacted us earlier this month, it seemed only right that we show them a little love right here, particularly as Jazz Meet resident Nik Weston will be headlining their next party on Thursday 10 November at Le Java in the 10eme Arrondissement. Peep the flyers below.
Here the three DJ/promoters bring us a mix in three parts. Each focuses on tracks that feature a specific instrument only (Sax, guitar and piano respectively), and together the boys produce a delicious blend of jazz beats and treats. There’s lots of goodness to be had across the full 60 minutes, but the question we have to ask is how did we go 44 episodes without ever featuring Herbie Hancock’s ‘Nobu’?? Finally… here it is! Stream and download below. Enjoy.
