Blue Note

Blue Note Re:Imagined, a brand new collection of classic Blue Note tracks reworked and newly recorded by a selection of the jazz scene's most exciting young talents, is out now. The full album release comes four months after the album's first single - Jorja Smith's fiery version of 'St. Germain's Rose Rouge'.

 

The record came out of partnership between Decca Records and Blue Note, Blue Note Re:Imagined features a rollcall of internationally acclaimed jazz, soul and R&B acts reimagining music originally created by some of the New York label's most legendary artists. Alonside Smith's 'St. Germain's Rose Rouge' are Nubya Garcia's take on Joe Henderson, reimaginations of Donald Byrd by both Jordan Rakei and Japenese multi-instrumentalist and producer Kan Sano, Ezra Collective's reworking of Wayne Shorter, and Poppy Ajudha tracking Herbie Hancock.
