SGJAZZ NOT SO MODERN TIMES

SGJAZZ is a jazz/soul band from Louisville, Kentucky led by internationally acclaimed producer Dr. Dundiff, who is one half of alt R&B duo Otis Jr. & Dr. Dundiff. The quintet have dropped a new single 'Not So Modern Times', a title that could allude to so many things, but one that springs to mind is how unjust our world still is, and so we could argue we are not living in modern times at all. The track is a bright and light reflection of jazz through hip-hop-tinted lenses. The track sees a break-filled beat and double bass create a smooth but energetic groove whist horns and keys converse in relaxed conversation. Their first album SGJAZZ Vol.1 was released on Jakarta Records, and for their new project SGJAZZ have signed with Melting Pot Music. 'Not So Modern Times' is the first single - a future jazz dance classic with a horn riff that will not leave your eardrums anytime soon. -Ellie Rose-Davies
