Lefto presents Jazz Cats is back with volume 4!
Lefto Early Bird shines a light on the next generation of Belgian jazz talent on the fourth instalment of the acclaimed compilation series on Sdban Ultra.
Jazz Cats Volume 4 puts you back in the front row of what Belgium’s jazz landscape has to offer right now. Curated by Belgian tastemaker, DJ and broadcaster Lefto Early Bird, the series keeps doing what it does best: uncovering hidden gems long before the wider world catches on.
Across fourteen tracks, jazz, hip-hop, electronic music, afrobeat, spiritual jazz and experimental sounds coexist effortlessly. Brussels-based Irreversible Entanglements member Aquiles Navarro opens things up alongside Ola Tunji and Helena Casella, while Lupo Spaccaro and Kunde (feat. Fred Gata) lean into hip-hop and beat culture. KVR and Bread For Pigeons bring the experimentation, Gaiko and Vliegwerk the immersive soundscapes, and Ragini Trio and Foutloos the pulsating low-end grooves. Lucid Lucia, Slagader and Kuna Maze close things out on a jazz-funk high.
The result: a compilation that feels remarkably cohesive despite its diversity, a portrait of a scene that keeps reinventing itself through curiosity and collaboration.
