Selected by Joe Armon-Jones

Between Joe’s influential solo career and his work with the now legendary Ezra Collective, Joe Armon-Jones has been at the centre of the London underground scene for quite some time now. Already having made his mark, the release of ‘Turn To Clear View’ will be nothing short of excellence.

Always one to push his boundaries as an artist – ‘Turn To Clear View’ will see Joe effortlessly blend and merge bass-heavy dub, contemporary club culture and his background as a pioneering force in the modern jazz scene. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Joe Armon-Jones album without the flourishes of R&B, hip-hop and p-funk.

It’s lead single ‘Yellow Dandelion’ features soaring vocals from the neo-soul visionary Georgia Anne Muldrow with Armon-Jones’s flair for intricacies and dynamics provides its substance. From powerful crescendos to his irresistible keyboard solos, ‘Yellow Dandelion’ pushes the fundamentals of funk firmly into 2019. Proving that Joe Armon-Jones is continually paving the way for himself and the sound he is crafting by hand.

‘Turn To Clear View’ also features his regular bandmates Oscar Jerome, Moses Boyd and Nubya Garcia whose uncompromising yet accessible sax on ‘You Didn’t Care’ stands out as a highlight.

As we wait patiently for the 20th of September, dig into the tracks that Joe Armon-Jones can’t get out of his head.
