Fine British Afro-jazz from the former Bellowhead trombonist and longtime world collaborator, whose debut boasts a veritable who’s who of London-based musicians, many of whom - conguero Oreste Noda, pianist Kishon Khan, double bassist Max De Wardener - are way overdue their dues. Border-breaking communication is key here; with brass roots in avant-garde jazz, Thurgur opens his groove-conscious sound to rhythms from all over. Opener Straight Down To My Soul is a chugging, reggae-flecked number with wheeling Hammond organ and horn riffs that nod to Afrobeat; Khan’s own You’ve Got To, a careering Bangla-Afro-Cuban instrumental with flugelhorn solo by Graeme Flowers, deftly celebrates our commonality.
