How refreshing it is to see a Blues record with liner notes - lengthy ones at that - composed by the artist themself.

Also refreshing to hear the results of having a not-outstanding artist backed by jazz musicians who know how to play blues with empathy, as opposed to some stylistically indigenous players of equal or lower quality of not-outstanding-ness.

Like a well-mixed drink, this one goes town smooth and repetition works in its favor.

Oh, btw - Curtis Amy is RIGHT on this record. right in every way.

Two other groups that travels somewhat the same path are Kyoto Jazz Massive and United Furutre Organization

https://www.discogs.com/artist/1808-Kyoto-Jazz-Massive

https://www.discogs.com/artist/29568-United-Future-Organization

Those two + Jazzanova are sort of my "Big 3" for "remix jazz".

Kyoto Jazz Massive actually popped up in the continued play algorithm once that Of All the Things record played through and I dug that sound too. United Future Org will be checked out as well. Thanks for the lead!

Listening to the trio version of "Dizzy's Moods" made this spin inevitable. . . .

Listening to the European cd from 2016. I have a handful of versions of this one. . . been listening to it for four decades now.
