The Return, by Kamaal Williams

The Return

by Kamaal Williams

supported by

freejazzy Is it a fresh groovin' music mix with ripe sound bits? However, feels just like yesterday when fusion music was entering the scene. Favorite track: Catch The Loop (Album Version).

Kader Shoman this must be what it felt like back in the day when cats were listening to Miles/John etc for the first time.... Favorite track: Medina.

warmtapes Kamaal leaves Yussef Dayes but continues to craft deep grooves mixed with chilled out burners. an excellent record from the uk jazz scene Favorite track: High Roller.

about

The Return is a natural evolution from the Yussef Kamaal project, mining the influence of visionary jazz but blended with all kinds of texture, sounds and signals from the over-saturated London streets.

Notable tracks for old and new listeners are ‘Salaam', 'Situations', 'Medina', 'LDN Shuffle' which features Mansur Brown (of Mansur's Message) and for those die hard Yussef Kamaal fans - they should hear the interpolated roots of 'Strings of Light' in the title track 'The Return’. And that signature Wu Funk can be heard on 'Broken Theme', and 'High Roller'.

The Return will be the debut album released on Wu's new label Black Focus Records.
