Press Release
Uncharted in the sense that this album sees O.G. forever a student of jazz indulging as always in layers of luscious live instrumentation. Taking a cue from the capricious and captivating beauty of Aotearoa Uncharted is a similar veritable garden of musical abundance with such a rich array of timbre and tempo. Grenell has taken recordings from improvisational jam sessions and fluidly arranged them in a diverse medley of broken beats. Once again a project featuring contributions from chanteuse Jennine Bailey (J9), violinist Fiona Pears, bassist Johnny Lawrence and some new guests...listen out for the dulcet lilt of Ladi6 and the lyrical agility of MC Rizla as well as some explosive international talent from U.K. MC's the verbally veracious Dynamite MC (Roni Size/ Full Cycle) and the charismatic, regaling rastaman, Raggadon!! Organic and spacious soundscapes from rough to rugged to soothingly sublime, Uncharted has it covered.

Nominated for Best Downbeat Release
2004 B.Net awards
