Sokratis Votskos Quartet - Almopian Etude / Sevenates | Jazz45 (JAZZ45 006)

juno.co.uk: ...Formed in 2017, the Sokratis Votskos Quartet is fast becoming one of the leading lights in Greek jazz. Later in the year they'll be releasing a brand new album on Jazzman, from which this tasty double A-side is taken. "Almopian Etude" is a veritable humid summer breeze of a track: a loose and languid fusion of spiritual piano motifs, languid double bass, bustling drums and alternately snaking and intoxicating horn solos. B-side "Sevenates" is an altogether funkier proposition, with cyclical saxophone motifs increasing in intensity over a jumpy, piano-driven rhythm track. It's not exactly jazz-funk, but it's certainly travelling in that direction. Either way, it's ace.

boomkat: ...Osaka-based producer and beat-maker Altz reinterprets and remixes Roland P. Young's spiritual jazz classic, Isophonic Boogie Woogie for the EM label, resituating the sounds of the original work within a beat-laden, electronically-enhanced context. Thankfully, the more abstract and freeform aspects of Young's music are still present - it's just that now you can dance to them as well... Helping to reinforce the rhythmic qualities of Young's original recordings, ALtz uses not only drum machines and programming, but recruits ex-Boredoms member Muneomi Senju and scratch maestro DJ Kensei, who appears on 'Stillness', a "D'n'B" intertwining of Young's 'Flutter Fly Flounce' and 'Stillness'.
