Aaron Jerome – Time To Rearrange

Don’t sleep on one of the biggest albums in our little world in 2008!!
Digipack CD pressing of Aaron Jerome debut album!
A mighty slept on fella if you ask me, because when you scratch your bonce and recall past glories – a dope broken booty of Amy Winehouses Stronger Than Me. a tasy lickle 12″ for Dom Servinis Wah Wah 45s imprint, and remix business for the great Nitin Sawhney – youll most likely be left wondering why and LP has been this long in the works. Nevermind though, because Mr Jerome has clearly poured his heart and soul into this debut and as a result Time To Rearrange is a triumph. Crispy production, beautiful arrangements, strong melodies, admirable attention to detail and a hearty sense of adventure make for exciting listening, so the impressive list of collaborators is simply the icing on the tasty cake. Yungun shine on the certified bruk hip-swinger Late Night Mission; homegirl Andreya Triana flips her inimitable flow on the superlative jazzy licks of Angel Lady; and Kathrin deBoer (Belleruche) graces the gorgeous organic textures of Reason in fine style. Dancing feet watch out for the title track – a scurrying jazz groove led by some superb wandering (and liver than live) double bass action. Jerome got game and he aint playin.
