Zed-U - Night Time On The Middle Passage

Debut album from three-piece band Zed-U. The band - bassist Neil Charles, reedsman Shabaka Hutchings and drummer Tom Skinner - have produced what Jazzwise called something fresh and exciting and have already gained a strong word-of-mouth reputation on the London scene. The band's music - an energetic, improvisation-driven kind of 'jazz-thrash' mixes improv with electronica, and even dub reggae, creating a unique, big sound, much greater than the sum of their parts would suggest.
