the shape of acid jazz to come: MOSES BOYD's Dark Matter

Also thread-relevant: K-scope contributor Emma-Jean Thackray's "Movementt" (sic) from her 2020 Rain Dance EP, where she samples her band's live performances and adds instruments, sometimes vocals---on this particular track, she plays all the instruments, and I always like her voice (nice video for this one too)--would work in a mix w Dark Matter tracks I think:

Gilles Peterson Presents MV4
Taken from a day of live sessions in London’s legendary Maida Vale Studios - studio MV4 to be exact, it was originally intended just for Peterson’s BBC radio show broadcast on 20th October 2018. Struck by what a special moment the sessions captured, Peterson has decided to mark the results with a release proper on his Brownswood imprint.

A limited special double vinyl release(download also, from bandcamp & elsewhere) it features a diverse, all-star cast of some of the acts celebrated by Peterson in recent years, in a series of freewheeling and off-the-cuff recordings, several of the tracks backed by the group of Brownswood signee, Joe Armon-Jones. Featuring Dylan Jones, James Mollison, Mutale Chashi, and Marijus Aleksa as well as guest turns from Fatima, Asheber, Nubya Garcia, Hak Baker, and Oscar Jerome, plus a double track special from Bristol based collective, Ishmael Ensemble.
Think all of this is thread-relevent, esp, tracks w guest vcx: right off, the strong yet never overselling lungs of Asheber on "New Day," likewise plus driving rhythm-guitar-as soloing-instrument of xpost Oscar Jerome on "Do You Really", hope and urgency of Fatima on "Only."
Then Hax Baker's phrasing combines dancehall, maybe hip-hop, improvised-seeming exchanges with the rhythm section in a way I've never heard, though I'm not from around here. That's "Thirsty Thursday," more romantic than you might think re title.
Whole thing is morning coffee for basking & grooving.
Will spare you the cover "art," but here's where I listened

vox, not vcx, Hak not Hax Baker, although not bad for typos.

What other Peterson collections should I get? I know he's been around a long time, I see appealing titles, but no idea where to go next.

Holy Modal, just listened to Nubya Garcia's new Source: so far her tenor's seeming heavy and unresponsive to peppery drums etc. on first two tracks, but the rest blows me away, and is mostly thread/mix-relevant:

about
Award-winning saxophonist and composer Nubya Garcia announces her debut album SOURCE, to be released August 21, 2020 on Concord Jazz. Produced by Garcia herself in collaboration with celebrated producer Kwes (Bobby Womack, Solange, Nerija), the album is announced after the release of lead single “Pace” and a rousing live performance on the BBC’s 2020 Glastonbury Experience.
SOURCE explores a multidimensional jazz sound layered with soul, afro-diasporic sounds and hints of dub-step along the way. Tracks 4 and 6 are the relatively mainstream--vibrantm and in the case of "Inner Game," fast-ballads, the rest is more cosmopolitan yall, all ranging from affecting to exhilarating. (Well-rounded, and even a bit more variety in the closer, which is Arkestra-worthy Earthlight serenade.)
I listened here:

What the hell, anyway check YouTube for Nubya Garcia Source full album (opener "Pace" is playing again, and now I get it, but think those I pasted fit thread better)

Joe Armon-Jones' keys delight all over this.

Ebi Soda, Ugh: Body, brio, beats, trombones, other horns, dubwise, occasional voices: this album (titled Ugh) will get you or at least me high for a night. At a time, that is (reasonable0. Now in stereo.
Stupid cover, but I sure hope this link works: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms8bs0CLz5Q&list=OLAK5uy_mlP4WfKAU_GVwYzqiRQQ0MgIJyO_8XxrI

Is there any catch-all thread for the whole current London jazz scene including Boyd, Garcia, Shabaka Hutchings, Yazz Ahmed, Camilla George, SEED Ensemble, Maisha, Nerija, etc? There's so much interconnections between these people and their sound that a separate thread might be nice?

London jazz wizard Shabaka Hutchings: Sons of Kemet / The Comet Is Coming / Shabaka & the Ancestors

Well yeah, but that one is technically about Hutchings just like this one is about Boyd... I meant a thread for the entire scene.

I can start one if it doesn't exist yet, I feel like they deserve a single unifying thread?

There's a great set by KOKOROKO at the Proms on the BBC i-player at the moment

A catch-all thread for the current jazz scene in London, including Shabaka Hutchings, Yazz Ahmed, Moses Boyd, Nubya Garcia, Camilla George, Theon Cross, Zara McFarlane, Daniel Casimir, SEED Ensemble,

This one is about Boyd... I meant a thread for the entire scene. This one's gotten to be about others as well, but good to have more threads covering the scene, scenes, yeah!

Can't manage the post now, but on youtube check Katy B vocals for Boyd's remix of "2 Far Gone"--hope he'll remix--the whole album maybe? Why not. Check her thread too.

Said remix:

there was discussion of that in the katy b thread, it's fantastic

shout out to nikola for posting this on the Shabaka thread, it's superb:
