Blue Note Re:imagined 2020

Blue Note and Decca have teamed up to release Blue Note Re:imagined, a brand new collection of classic Blue Note tracks reworked and newly recorded by a selection of the UK scene’s most exciting young talents today. Representing a bridge between the ground-breaking jazz label’s past and future, the project features contributions from a rollcall of internationally acclaimed jazz, soul and R&B artists including Nubya Garcia, Shabaka Hutchings, Blue Lab Beats, Emma-Jean Thackray, Ishmael Ensemble, Melt Yourself Down, Fieh, Mr Jukes, Yazmin Lacey, Alfa Mist, Steam Down, Skinny Pelembe, Ezra Collective, Poppy Ajudha, Jordan Rakei, and Brit Award-winner Jorja Smith, whose version of St Germain’s “Rose Rouge” (which was based on a sample of Marlena Shaw’s “Woman of the Ghetto”) NPR Music called “a global call to prayer for the disenfranchised.”
