Madrid's Oli Stewart, better known as Casbah 73, swaps out the solo edits for something far more expansive: The Jade, a live ensemble built around raw musicianship and emotional honesty. Across 12 tracks, the group channel a hybrid of Iberian funk, Afro-Latin soul and sun-dappled jazz, delivered with sweat, subtlety and swing. 'Let The Light In' opens in full voice, driven by Josh Hoyer's gutsy performance and gospel lifts from Nia Martin and Deborah Ayo. From there, the set shifts between styles with ease: the punchy Brit-funk snap of 'Change!', the lush, floating soul-jazz of 'On That Strange', and the winding disco-dub psychedelia of 'Space Lines'. 'When Love Left' stands out for its stripped-down intensity, while the Brazilian shuffle of 'Si No Me Quieres Esperar', featuring Ale Gutierrez, adds a flash of saudade. Instrumentals like 'At The Queensboro' and 'Nos Vamos A Encontrar' let the players stretch out with elegance. It's an album of grooves, but also of feeling-a rare balance of tight ensemble playing and expressive fire.
