Perhaps the best thing out of Bristol drum'n'bass since
New Forms, the debut album from the collaborative trio
Jaz Klash is a set of jungle jazz with a definite edge to it, courtesy of live instrumentation by noted jazz keyboardists
Jacky Terrasson and
Brian Auger. The drum programming by
More Rockers and
the Angel is superb and distinctive, while even
the Angel's own vocals on two tracks come off quite well.
Thru the Haze also includes two remixes by
Roni Size associates
Die and
Suv, plus an
Angel remix of the title track.
