Scottish jazz artist Josef Akin has released a deep, downtempo track titled Mchaze.
A veteran of the contemporary jazz circuit despite his young age, Josef Akin has graced the stage of the likes of Ronnie Scott's in recent times, no doubt bringing some of the sweeping vibrations that are found on this single to his band's live set.
Mchaze gently ushers in vocal elements for added textures, with the slow drums remaining steady before a more dramatic finish that feels like a giant exhale. Those who made it Brick Lane Jazz Festival would have already heard the song live and as we enter the full-swing of festival season, we'll be hoping to hear it live, too.
