Ended the week and welcomed the weekend with Jaiyede Sessions Volume I by London Odense Ensemble, released on El Paraiso Records.

In recnt years London has become an epicenter for experimental, visionary jazz. On this unique session, two of the finest exponents of the London jazz scene, Tamar Osborn and Al MacSween, join forces with members of the celebrated Danish psychedelic underground – Jonas Munk, Jakob Skøtt and Martin Rude – to create a heady sonic brew. On this first volume of material there’s everything one could hope for in such a collaboration: sonically it summons the free flowing euphoria of Alice Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders’ work in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

#NowPlaying London Odense Ensemble - Jaiyede Sessions Volume 1 (El Paraiso Records, 2022).

Two great musicians of the London jazz scene, Tamar Osborn (Collocutor) and Al MacSween (Kefaya), join forces with members of the Danish psychedelic underground – Jonas Munk, Jakob Skøtt and Martin Rude – to create a unique sonic brew, which to me sounds like spiritual jazz mixed with jazz-inflected krautrock.
