Colin McBean doesn’t let many other than himself release on Phoenix G. However, John Swing has done in his Vinalog guise along with Emanuele Gianini for some Record Store Day projects, but not under his own nom de plume. There’s always a feeling that with jazz in the title, things might be a little safe and predictable, but the tracks here are wonderfully low key and as notional while still retaining a semblance of shape. ‘Dusty’ is an adjective casually attributed to John Swing’s productions, and he brings a lot of fugginess to the table on this package, which is always interesting and abstract.
