Kai Alcé’s reinterprets works by modern jazz dons in a breezy, bustling deep house style, backed with an ace Thundercat dub

On disc 1, Alcé resets the modal jazz vibes of Kamasi Washington’s ‘Aksim’ to a twinkle-toed deep house hustle, while the flip sees him underline vibes from Gregory Porter’s ‘On My Way To Harlem’ with juicy bass and stepping drums in a live-sounding style. Disc 2 follows with Thundercat’s subtly rugged dub of Alcé’s take on ‘Aksim’, next to its instrumental, and backed with extended and radio mixes of ‘On My Way To Harlem.’
