The Near Jazz Experience - Nought to 60 mini​-​album (August 2021 Sartorial Records)

"Cross Can’s rhythm section with Roland Kirk, Motown & the Third Stream and you’ll get close to where The NJE is coming from."

That rhythm section is Madness bassist Mark Bedford & former Higsons drummer Simon Charterton. Terry Edwards plays saxes (two at once), trumpet, melodica & flute. The result? Electrifyingly groovy funk/world/rock music played on jazz instruments.

1. Spirit of INDO 10:43
2. Five Years 03:17
3. Tizita 03:59
4. "Nought to 60" (LP version) 05:24
5. Spirit of INDO (radio edit) 03:53
6. "Nought to 60" (radio edit) 04:17
