Javonntte went from unknown to unmissable in a short space of time. The US producer and vocalist has linked with only the finest deep house labels from NDATL to Sistrum Recordings to Skylax and now puts out his first album on Ten Lovers Music. It's a classy, jazz laced affair with the sort of cosmic key playing and Sun Ra style synths. The beats range from deep and loungey to more house in nature, and the whole album glows with a richness and romanticism that really stirs the soul. This is a hugely accomplished statement that fits right in with the renewed global interest in contemporary jazz.[info sheet from distr.]
