"The Xman brings us an incredible new compilation that spans 20 plus years of The Xman's releases. This album is truly as good as it gets with regard to his musicianship combined with those around him. Buy it today. You won't regret it." September 12, 2016

Culled from six of the label’s recent releases, the driving wheel between it all is label owner Charles Xavier who let’s his jazz roots take root in a party mode. Abetted by a bunch of cool talent that’s played with everyone and is pleased to take the opportunity to step out for some spotlight time, this is the kind of set that moves and grooves in just they way you want an after hours set to do just that.

I did not know that Professor X was a musician as well as running a school for mutants but it just goes to show you because Charles Xavier is releasing a compilation album highlighting twenty years worth of releases showcasing his work as a jazz musician and producer. It goes right back to the seventies for a couple of tracks from his early days with Satori and then meanders through the decades with songs touching on new age and ambient as well as his core jazz sound. There is an array of top jazz talent on display here with the likes of smooth jazz saxophonist Sam Riney, trumpeter Warren Gale, drummer Vinnie Colaiuta alongside countless others, so there is no doubting the musical ability on offer. There is also a taster for his next album in the shape of “The Dreamer” which shows he’s not ready to rest on his laurels just yet. It may be a bit idiosyncratic for mainstream listeners but jazz fans looking for some new and old sounds will enjoy. September 7, 2016
