VARIOUS [EMI]
It’s not often that we wander into that scary musical territory known as The Classics here, but that’s because the gays only do high camp, don’t they?
The mere thought of anything other than a riff-driven dance track performed by a surgically-sculptured woman (real or otherwise) prancing around in a ridiculous head-dress and haute couture underwear as outerwear is enough to make any queen shiver in her expensive designer trainers.
But let’s throw our fickle tastes to the wind and embrace this double compilation of mind-blowing jazz tracks pieced together by the Dutch DJ, the aptly-named Maestro. Though some big names appear here (Donald Byrd, Horace Silver and Bobby McFerrin), the amazing selection of jazz tracks is purely merit-based, each one a stand-alone retro jazz classic. Reward your hearing with this Blue Note mix.
