After digging a little deeper, it turns out jazz is woven into the fabric (heh) of everything they do. And now they’re doubling down on their love of jazz by expanding their operations to include original music and limited-run vinyl editions. The first of these, the \u003cem\u003eBook Works Trio EP\u003c\/em\u003e, collects a handful of tunes recorded by Oskar with classmates from The New School’s jazz program and Manhattan School of Music. All three tracks sport cool, laidback grooves landing somewhere on the spectrum between jazz and funk, anchored by \u003cstrong\u003eMax Tucker\u003c\/strong\u003e’s drum kit and \u003cstrong\u003eJansen Cinco\u003c\/strong\u003e’s bass, with \u003cstrong\u003eIsaac Darche\u003c\/strong\u003e’s masterful high-register guitar flourishes sealing the deal. The real highlight here is the breezy slow-disco rendition of cubano-jazz standard “Poinciana,” featuring some of Darche’s best playing on the EP, and Oskar’s latin-inspired polyrhythms really take the tune to another level, primed for sweltering hot August nights standing out on Avenue B. The flipside sports a remix of the track by \u003cstrong\u003eMax B\u003c\/strong\u003e (not \u003cem\u003ethat\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMax B\u003c\/strong\u003e, but free that \u003cstrong\u003eMax B\u003c\/strong\u003e!), who reinterprets it via the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=dj+premier\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrimo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e school of hip-hop drums, retaining the original’s summery guitar inflections and adding a sprinkle of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Dilla\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDilla\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e sirens for good measure.
