Khalab curates brilliant new compilation featuring deep jazz selections from legendary Italian label Soul Note
Italian artist and producer Raffaele Constantino, better known in many music circles as Khalab, has been at the forefront of some the most otherworldly futuristic electronic recordings. For his latest project on his Hyperjazz label, he is curating a brilliant new compilation series, called Hyperituals, with the first two volumes exploring the deep jazz vaults of the influential, yet unsung Milan sister labels Black Saint/Soul Note.
Featuring 13 incredible tracks from both the 70s and 80s, the first volume in the series is entirely dedicated to the Soul Note catalogue, which includes some of the most forward-thinking deep, spiritual, and avant jazz selections of it’s time, focusing on rhythms, grooves and Afrocentric traditions. This phenomenal compilation features some of the greatest music from artists like Hamiet Bluiett, Andrew Cyrille, Beaver Harris, Tony Scott, Billy Bang, Nana Vasconcelos, and others, including more venturous selections from well-established jazz greats like Max Roach and Paul Motion.
This well-crafted and researched compilation does a phenomenal job in highlighting the creative nature of Soul Note’s expansive catalogue. This is an absolute “must-have” release for any jazz enthusiast that enjoys the more free-wheeling sounds from this era.
‘Hyperituals Vol 1 — Soul Note’ is officially released on April 8.
