about

A dark chocolate music selection with mysterious centres.....

'This (Vol. 2 ) is jazz saying something to a generation so used to music that doesn’t say anything. If there are any jazz fans at all under the age of sixteen it’s Billy Jenkins’ fault. But where Hancock and Davis were precious and po-faced about their mysterious arts, Billy takes it into the real world of car crashes and the scandalous price of sweets.'
Richard Russell / Billy Jenkins webzine.com


'South London free-jazz catalyst Jenkins issued this large-scale set of musical collisions – with UK jazz giants including Django Bates, Iain Ballamy, Mark Lockheart, Martin France and many others – on vinyl and cassette in 1991. For all its outward lawlessness, however, this is some of Jenkins's most subtly conceived and orderly music'.
John Fordham / The Guardian
