Jazz harmony meets alternative hip-hop and soul in the music of self-taught pianist and producer Alfa Mist. His new single out today is a reworking of Eddie Henderson’s jazz fusion classic “Galaxy,” which originally appeared on the trumpeter’s 1975 Blue Note album Sunburst. The song is the eighth single to be released from Blue Note Re:imagined, a forthcoming collection of Blue Note tracks re-imagined by a selection of the UK scene’s most exciting young talents. Stream the Blue Note Re:imagined playlist featuring the originals alongside the re-imaginations.

Growing up in Newham, East London, Alfa Mist began his musical journey as a grime and hip-hop producer, but soon found himself drawn to jazz and the world of film soundtracks. His own sound is a heady mix of genres; reflective, atmospheric and distinctively London. Friends and collaborators include Tom Misch and fellow Blue Note Re:imagined artist Jordan Rakei, whose reworking of Donald Byrd’s “Wind Parade” is paired with “Galaxy” on a 7” vinyl release which is available for pre-order now on the Blue Note Store.

Blue Note Re:imagined will be released October 2 on Blue Note/Decca, and is available for pre-order now on vinyl, CD, and digital formats.
