Call it any subgenre you want; as long as the playing is the real deal and kind of blue, it’s all jazz to me. Fillet Of Soul features the muffled trumpet work of Alexander Tassle and stellar sax from Guillaume Naturel. While French (former) trip-hop don DJ Cam contributes (just check his kalimba), his main role is as curator, while Tassle and Naturel handle most of the programming and percussion. Different beats move you from the bar to the dancefloor to the fireside rug, and you can feel Chet Baker’s torment and Donald Byrd’s sustain throughout.
