Joe Armon-Jones delivers a bold and timely statement with Wrong Side Of Town, a 2024 EP released on his own Aquarii Records imprint that brings together an impressive cast of collaborators from London's thriving jazz scene. Blending jazz and reggae, the project features vocalist Hak Baker, saxophonist Nubya Garcia, Black Midi drummer Morgan Simpson, Nubiyan Twist bassist Luke Wynter, and Ezra Collective's James Mollison, with mixing handled by the legendary Prince Fatty.
At its core, Wrong Side Of Town is a powerful reflection on displacement and community, centered around the experience of being priced out of London — a theme Hak Baker brings to life with raw authenticity. The result is a record that balances playful, boisterous riddims with a deeply resonant social message, capturing the joy and resilience found in the struggle. The release includes an artwork insert, making it a fitting addition to any collection from fans of contemporary jazz and beyond.
