Review: You wait ages for a Detroit legend to go a little off-piste and then two of them do it at once! In the same week that sees the release of Robert Hood and Femi Kuti's 'Variations', fellow UR veteran Jeff Mills brings us the debut album from his new project The Zanza 22, a loose collective with whom he sets out to explore the connections between jazz, lounge, Latin and electronic dance music. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the project was a child of the Covid-19 lockdowns, a time that saw many artists, suddenly free of the need to satisfy dancefloors every Saturday, turning out more introspective productions. There's not much in the way of glitterball abandon or 3am warehouse stompery going on, then, but if you're after 70 minutes of chilled, groovy listening, step right on in.
