Jazz re:freshed vol.1 reviews

"The new album reflects the soulful diversity of the night and is recommended to anyone who wants a snapshot of contemporary London jazz and an intro to the Jazzre:freshed sound."
Benji B BBC1Xtra

"A wicked little compilation, put together in support of London's Jazzre:freshed night, home to some of the most happening acts on the British scene! The vibe here is totally great - kind of a maturation of the cosmic sounds coming from London a few years before, taken to territory that's even more solidly soulful, and often touched with just the right sort of jazz elements to live up to the name of the night. Some tracks are heavily electric, with lots of great keyboards, others are more acoustic and balance things out nicely with some really deep roots. Together, the 2CD set is overflowing with artists that really represent some of our favorites so far in the 21st Century."  - Dusty Groove America

"Two discs are indeed necessary to reflect the scope of this scene and do justice to a group of gifted musicians that would otherwise be criminally overlooked. If Moses and McKenzie intended to rejuvenate the world of jazz, they've succeeded with Jazz re:freshed Vol. 1"

“This double cd is their first compilation, and when you know every artist on it has performed there, you realize you're dealing with one heavyweight club night! There's something for everybody here!” - Lensco@Beyondjazz.net

"The music of Jazzre:freshed, presented by Adam & Justin, is easy to love, but don't mistake it for easy listening. This is not the sound of the so-called “contemporary” Jazz you might hear on mainstream radio. It's young, fresh, and new, and yet it maintains its ties to the music born out of oppression and revolution. In that sense, Jazzre:freshed is pure Jazz, true to the form."

"This is a standout album for two reasons. The first is consistency; over 26 tracks, there are no lapses in their quality. Secondly, the Jazzre:freshed model of mixing new artists with older more experienced ones rings true. All in all, a stunning compilation album from one of the world's best jazz sessions. Buy the album & prepare to be amazed come a Thursday night in Ladbroke Grove."

“JRF Vol.1 is a sublime introduction to the genius of the Jazzre:freshed scene and the artists who have performed there over the years. The artist contribution is vast and well rounded allowing each artist and each track to take center stage while covering a wide spectrum of jazz and jazz influenced music.”
