We Out Here

Description

We Out Here, Brownswood Recordings latest compilation, was born out of a desire by label boss Gilles Peterson to capture the essence of Londons contemporary jazz scene. To ensure a sense of there here and now, Peterson invited some of the citys brightest young bands and musicians into the studio in August 2017, recording the results over three action-packed days. The resulting never-heard-before tracks are, for the most part, joyous and thrilling, and range from trad jazz, jazz-funk and Latin jazz to acoustic-electronic fusions and groovy, guitar-laden downtempo explorations. It feels like a glimpse of a scene on the rise, and we wouldnt be surprised if many of those involved become modern British jazz greats in the years to come.
