43. "oscar jerome - "timeless" w/ La Havas" In response to In response to 0
Oscar Jerome (pretty well-known on the hot UK jazz/new jazz scene, guitarist with afrobeat band Kokoroko) has a new album out yesterday. Track 9, "Timeless," is a 6.5 minute journey with La Havas on vocals. It takes a minute to get there on the first listen but she absolutely blesses the song - it's beautiful.
(Listening to the whole album, "Breathe Deep," now - it's really good so far! Definitely of OKP interest... he's not a great vocalist but he doesn't try to be -- the arrangements are hot and he's got a lot of great players with him... worth a listen!)
