Summary: Incredible, complex, deep NU JAZZ
Comment: This has to be in my opinion the record of the year, the talent and melding of voices from Heidi Vogel and Eska Mtungwazi and Patrick Watson give credence to a hauntingly beautiful and rare melange of talent that is captured in this recording.
I never write reviews but I was so moved by this music that I had to research the band.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Wonderful execution of a well-trained group of musicians.
Comment: The music of this record flows smooth and deep, as how you can expect from a great jazz session. All is made bigger and more intense by the location, for the influence of the hall on the sound. A great, great record. Strongly recommended.

Summary: Royal
Comment: Jazzers often dabble with DJs and sampling, but with Cinematic Orchestra, it has happened the other way round. Leader Jason Swinscoe started out chopping up his record collection (1960s and 70s jazz and soundtracks) for the Ninja Tune label. He has ended up with a band of fine jazz players - but not a jazz band. Through two albums (Every Day, Motion), collaborations with Roots Manuva and Fontella Bass, and a soundtrack for the Russian silent movie Man With a Movie Camera, Swinscoe has turned lots of the sampling back into live playing. It has the directness of simple loop music, but 10 times the emotional power
