Jose James recently released “Love Conversation” which was produced by Taylor McFerrin and boy is this a beauty. The lovely vocals of Jordana de Lovely make it twice as sweat so sit back and enjoy. Now the “Blackmagic” remixes have been out for a bit, but the original Flying Lotus version is the baddest. Take a look at the tracklist after the jump to see what 2010 has in store…

All we can say about this release is…WOW. Eventhough this is not the best DJ Mitsu the Beats album ever…it’s still one hell of an album with some killer highlights.
The title track “A Word To The Wise” is not what I hoped it would be, but the second joint ”Ridin’” with Kev Brown and Cy Young made up for this for sure. Together with Jose James Mitsu brings us “Promise In Love” and this nothing less than a beautiful, jazzy song – come on who doesn’t love horns? Now “Night In Vienna” might or might not be your cup of tea, but for me personally this is the nicest (full of flutiness) non-hiphop song on the entire album. It takes me back to the mid seventies with its uptempo soulfulness.
Now after a couple of mediocre tracks we get to the nitty gritty. The best hiphop tracks on “A Word To The Wise” are ”The Game Changer” featuring Georgia Anne Muldrow & Wild Child (certified funky banger!) and the previously leaked ”Untitled” joint with Elzhi. Even if you heard it before…this Detroit banger is still sick. To finish it off…”Dim Skyline” with Mark de Clive Low. What can we say? An attempt to genius, but it just didn’t have enough variation in it to be called that. Nevertheless very pleased to hear Mark de Clive Low again! Okay we’re done…oh wait. Ivana Santilli ends this review with “Playing Again”. Soulful, lovely…done. 8 out of 10..that’s what’s up.
Nothing to add anymore…so check it out for yourself. Put May 27th in your agenda and make sure you buy this highly anticipated album (that won’t disappoint you) released on PlanetGroove/Jazzy Sport!!

In the intervening years, the North Sea Jazz Festival has developed into a major international jazz event.
