Our Take

The Wide Hive Players are back with their latest album, aptly titled II. And let me tell you, this is not your grandma's jazz album. This funky collective brings such a fresh and modern twist to the genre, it's like jazz went to a wild party and came back with a new wardrobe.

From the moment you press play, you're hit with a wave of infectious grooves and killer instrumentation. The brass section is tight, the rhythm section is on point, and the overall vibe is just downright groovy. It's like being transported to a smoky jazz club in the heart of London, but with a whole lot more attitude.

Tracks like "Funky Monkey" and "Soul Stomper" are guaranteed to get your head nodding and your feet tapping. And don't even get me started on the killer solos sprinkled throughout the album. These musicians are seriously talented, and it shows in every note they play.

If you're looking for a jazz album that breaks the mould and dares to be different, look no further than II by the Wide Hive Players. It's a musical journey unlike any other, and one that you won't soon forget. Trust me, this album is the real deal.
