Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

There's an old music press adage that second albums are notoriously "difficult". If this were true, then by rights Everyday should be one big disappointment. That fact that it's arguably one of 2002's finest jazz albums (yes, jazz--as in real, old fashioned, clarinets and trumpets type jazz) just goes to prove how talented Jason Swinscoe's Cinematic Orchestra are.

Following up their impeccable debut, Motion, was always going to be tough, but here they've surpassed themselves. While the former was a fusion of sample-culture smoky, backroom jazz, Everyday is jazz pure and simple--old jazz for the nu-jazz generation. "Man With the Movie Camera", "Burnout" and "Flite" are near-perfect soundtrack jazz pieces--epic, shuffling, ever shifting--while "All That You Give" and "Evolution" feature the enchanting vocals of legendary soul singer Fontella Bass. Best of all, though, is the Roots Manuva collaboration "All Things to All Men"--proof that jazz and rap aren't as strange bedfellows as some may think. It's spellbinding stuff, and sure to be one of 2002's finer albums. --Matt Anniss



Sunday Telegraph

The Cinematic Orchestra are endlessly amazing, warped, inventive and intriguing. They're big and they're clever

5.0 out of 5 stars Album of the Year - no question (well Jazz anyway), 10 Jul 2002
By Steps "steps_lowe" (Luxembourg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Jason Swinscoe apparently got fed up with traditional instrumentation ad as a result made the impeccable but inconspicuous 'Motion' debut. History proclaims that second albums can be, by all accounts, a bitch! Not so on this assures sophomore LP. 'Every Day' takes jazz, as in the proper stuff with brass and horns (not fricking Morcheeba) and produces one of, if not THE, dance/jazz crossover albums of this year.

Those tempted to label it nu-jazz beware both Swanscoe and Giles Peterson will have something (less lazy) to say. Not as worldy as 'One Giant Leap'(thank god) nor as pompous as perhaps 'UNKLE', this old style jazz in a shiny new wrapper. Have a glass of Merlot, a smoke and chill out. Fontella Bass (on 'Evolution') and Roots Manuva (on 'All Things to all Men') make welcome vocal appearances and every track on this record soars, glistens and spellbinds.

A little like mercury prize nominees '4 Hero', 'All That You Give' is a gospel tinged wonder better than anything 'Zero Seven' could muster, Lalo Schifrin would be suitably impressed.

Rap, Jazz, Soul hybrid in a contender for album of the year shocker? Not really just broaden your horizons once in a while.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sublime, beautiful, 'intelligent' music at its best..., 9 Aug 2002
By Ms. A. Bradshaw "netheader" (Gateshead, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This album is utterly sublime. Buy it, lock yourself in your bedroom, lie down, close your eyes, turn the stereo up loud and enjoy.

'Everyday' is a fusion of experimental jazz, deep, deep soul, smoky blues and subtle hip hop undertones but don't be mistaken into thinking this is a 'heard it before' attempt at nu-jazz. There is nothing to match the sound of the Cinematic Orchestra. Try to think of the most truly beautiful, provocative, awe inspiring and thought provoking music you could possibly ever hear - and you'll be somewhere close.

There are only 7 tracks on this album, but each one is so beautifully crafted and a masterpiece in its own right - particularly in my opinion, tracks 5 and 6. Definitely turn it up loud for track 5 with Roots Manuva - this track's sooooooooo good.

I think this will be the best album of 2002 that I'll buy.

If you're into Giles Peterson, DJ Shadow, 4Hero, etc, get this. If you've never heard of Cinematic Orchestra, waste no time in getting this album. This is 'intelligent' and 'beautiful' music at its best - you will NOT be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyday isThe Best !!, 19 May 2002
By R. Pieters "r.pieters@ntlworld.uk" (Harlow Essex) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This album is really one to watch. The laid back UK Cinematic Orchestra's form of nu jazz chill out's a musical treat of sheer beauty and musical images. The sound is a crossroads of contemporary jazz, classicall and light drum and bass , with the opening track All that you give being sung majestically on this downbeat groover by the golden voice of veteran soul /gospel diva Fontella Bass. British rapper Roots Manuva joins the team on two tracks for a perfect collaboration similar to Greg Osby's sound. I didn't find a dissapointing track on the 7 and do urge you to give this a listen as away from the general electronics and studio mixing of a lot of the nu jazz , Cinematic Orchestra have real instruments being played haunting saxes and harps, almost some tracks easing into heartbreaking movie themes, but the emphasis on Everyday is over powered by the artistry of Cinematics instruments played to perfection. .A good post club after hours wind down collection.
It's suprising to see that Britain and Europe can produce some of the best jazz these days, The best is without a doubt how I will describe The Cinematic Orchestra's Everyday. You'd be a fool to let a day go by and pass this one by.
