The Analog Vault // Essential Listening
Gilles Peterson has a special love afair with MPS. To be exact, it goes back more than three decades to the London of the 1980s when Gilles stood at the beginning of an exceptional career as DJ, Radio personality, and producer.At that time he was already interested in unusual and unique jazz recordings, and so he inevitably came across the record label from Germanys Black Forest (Schwarzwald), whose catalogue encompassed a large, totally distinct repertoire that had never been released anywhere else. Naturally, there was a long list of amazing interpretations of jazz classics from acknowledged jazz masters, but early on Gilles had developed the talent to dig deeper into the depths of the archives in order to ferret out the special features of the catalogue occasionally discovering a obscurity and bring them to the light of day.
He seemed to be able to effortlessly show a completely new connection between classic jazz recordings through the way they were chosen, assorted, and sequenced. Thus, every single title was imbued with a new energy, freshness, and, above all, timelessness, always with an eye on whether the chosen recordings would possibly be compatible with the needs of clubs. This present MPS compilation is an especially good example of Gilles Petersons amazing talent. It delivers only a small, yet carefully chosen section out of the depths of the MPS archives. via Label
