2LP Vinyl – ALNLP34

Bonobo’s starts with hints of classical and jazz and moves towards almost a fluke of a groove through Bonobo’s cover of Donovan’s Get Thy Bearings, Dorando’s Didn’t I and Nina Simone’s cover of Randy Newman’s Baltimore. From there the one-two of Hypnotic Brass Ensemble and Menahan Street Band gives a soulful waft to the mix – and Bonobo continues to deftly weave in stories from contemporaries (Lapalux) and find old favourites that are wonderful – but slightly less obvious (Dorothy Ashby’s Essence of Sapphire).
