Utah Jazz Biography:
Utah Jazz Biography:
Luke Wilson, AKA Utah Jazz, is one of the original liquid funksters. He got into Drum & Bass whilst still at school, inspired by LTJ Bukem & Alex Reece and his DJ career soon blossomed – randomly adopting the name 'Utah Jazz' from the US Basketball team to showcase his preference for the mid 90s 'Jazz-Jungle' sound.
A trail of amazing 12's followed on Good Looking, Hospital & his own Fallen Angels imprint, but for his debut album Utah Jazz has chosen Liquid V, an offshoot of Bryan Gee's seminal V Recordings, the first home of Roni Size & DJ Marky.
This album might have taken over ten years before surfacing, but it is well worth the wait. Over 12 tracks & a few lovingly crafted interludes, Utah Jazz shows with brilliance why Drum & Bass and funk are such a match made in heaven.
The soulful and uplifting 'Feeling Inside' sets the tone, & the 12" sampler 'Back In Time', currently making waves at 1-Xtra & Kiss, leaves no doubt this LP is the soundtrack to a summer party. With the help of some well chosen samples and a great sense of lush textures, Utah Jazz has created beautiful, varied music packed with awesome energy.
Check the James Bond-esque vibe of 'Mesmerize', the vintage Drum & Bass tones of 'The Message', the sleazy funk of 'Funkless life', the Reggae-inspired 'Riddim Track', the infectious closing 'Acoustic Jam' & you will want to start all over again.

..."After 10 years of producing, 'It's A Jazz Thing' is well worth the wait, showcasing Wilson's knack of excavating big riffs and hooks from 70's soul and funk, and melding them together in an uplifting dance floor soup. 4 out of 5..." Mixmag
