Sherwood In Dub

The Near Jazz Experience

Here's a set of dub versions and remixes produced by Adrian Sherwood during the past 20 years. Included is a track from his recent collaboration with the Near Jazz Experience (thank you to The Swamp for sharing this recording, from a NJE radio session). 

The NJE is a trio led by Terry Edwards (sax and trumpet), with Mark Bedford (Madness bassist) and drummer Simon Charterton.  Back in the 1980's, Charterton and Edwards were in the bands Serious Drinking and The Higsons. Bedders and Edwards first recorded together in 1988 as Butterfield 8.

The Voice Of Thunder (Prince Far I) is heard on two tracks: "Wise Blood" (from Echo Dek, Sherwood's dub version of Primal Scream's Vanishing Point LP); and "Garden Of Perfume" by Temple Of Sound (a tune that also features Jah Wobble and Ghetto Priest). Singers and players seem to keep reconnecting with each other in the On-Universe.
