If there’s a house track that is simultaneously laid back and upfront, relaxed and urgent. Something that will sound good at any stage of the night, it’s ‘Shades Of Jae’. Its genius is in the way it builds. It doesn’t really stop, but it does. How long is a piece of string? As long as this tantalizing track I reckon. One aspect of it is that it sounds like it’s being mixed live, and the pauses, the occasional silence, the rewinds. This is one of those records that can raise the dead. Moodymann could just have made this one track and his legacy would be assured.
