Fresh from the mind of Renegades Of Jazz, Dem Juju Poets serve a bewitching brew: sharp with staccato Latin elements but rich, hazy and mystical with African and Cuban elements, it’s an alluring fusion across both sides; “Voodoo Jazz” lives up to its name with lolloping double bass bassline, warm horns and insistent rhythmic vocal. “Watusi Fever” sidesteps to the left with a more complex time signature, layers of subtle percussive texture and flutes that pepper with funk. Get on this. Juno Records
