Released in limited numbers in tandem with Black Mahogani back in 2004 and never repressed, Kenny Dixon Jr's Black Mahogani II was a departure from his usual house-based music. The album featured cuts from Kenny Dixon Jr's late-night jazz band sessions.
The centrepiece of the album is the eighteen-minute track "When She Follows," a deep jazz session that combines skittering live drum rolls, an electric Fender Rhodes, loping acoustic bass, and distant saxophone, all wrapped up in an amorphous vocal that drifts ever onwards like some epic Detroit techno cut replayed by Gil Scott Heron's band in 1970. The music is truly incredible.
"Rectify" follows in a similar mode, blending jazz within a Detroit techno framework. The final two tracks, "Dirty Little Bonus Beats" and "When She (Reprise)," are revisions of the main cut. The former alters the bassline, adds vocal sighs, and includes more rhythmic drums, while the latter shifts up the tempo with a wigged-out techno synth element. The tracks are stone cold.
