"The Kings Of... series continues in its aim of bringing you forgotten and neglected gems from the world of music. This, the fifth volume, ventures into the vast, exciting world of Jazz. Influential DJ/Broadcaster Gilles Peterson pairs up with producer/remixer collective Jazzanova to bring you a selection of their top tracks across 2 CD's. Gilles delves deep into his own extensive library, digging up tracks that range from early work like the blues-tinged saxophone recording of John Coltrane and the slow piano of Bill Evans (which ends the CD perfectly) to up-tempo pieces such as 'Anthenagin' and a laid-back version of 'My Favorite Things' by Mark Murphy. Peterson visits every decade from the '50s to the '80s and turns up an array of under-appreciated tracks by some of the most important names in jazz. The Jazzanova side explores a range of contemporary styles influenced by jazz and given many different names from broken beat to jazz-house and electronica."
