Jazz: Rise & the Heritage Ensemble – Unity Suite

“Rise was kind of a sample-based spiritual jazz thing under that name”, says Mecca:83 in our interview last year. “I worked under that name for seven or eight years. Although I’d done a lot of varied work as Rise, after the album came out people started to think of me as ‘that jazz guy’ which was a bit frustrating, so it became pretty clear I needed a new alias.”

Well, that jazz guy is finally back again after a seven-year hiatus. Enjoy “Unity Suite”, one for the spiritual jazz lovers.

Just an ordinary guy always on the hunt for extraordinary music. Not just as the founder of The Find Magazine & Rucksack Records, but also as a freelance music journalist (bylines at Tracklib, Bandcamp, Wax Poetics, DIG Mag, among others) and—above all—out of love for all kinds of good music.
