Presenting the genre defining and much hip hop sampled Ambient Jazz Ensemble. AJE's Colin Baldry has a highly accomplished career in music writing and producing for iconic labels Motown, RCA, Geffen, Virgin and Capitol Records. London Fields describes London energy, vibe, anticipation; "fields" of electricity: "The phrase conjures something of my own relationship with London. Having moved away after living and working there for 20 years I've recently fallen in love with the city again. I've been walking the streets, rediscovering its parks, canals, the architecture, the river; experiencing new music in London is always a joy. The London Fields have re-captured my imagination." "Ensoul" delivers sparse felt piano before Lynsey Ward releases her inner Kate Bush. "Locked" inspired initially by Tony Robert-Fleury's 1891 painting Alix Appearing in Mask.

Double LP version. Colin Baldry's Ambient Jazz Ensemble often compared to Bob James and David Axelrod due to the large ensemble and orchestral elements. AJE are a London based 15-piece jazz with classical and electronic music orchestra. Baldry has created upbeat house, disco and electronic reworks of all ten tracks off his debut and Gilles Peterson' favorite Suite Shop album with the inclusion of mixes by Simbad, Leo Zero, and Leftside Wobble. AJE's remixes mastered by Jon Hopkins engineer Guy Davie on his gorgeous 1970s EMI Lagos desk. Dylan Colby remix closing track on Hospital Records We Are 21 compilation. Baldry's impressive music career includes writing and producing for iconic labels Motown, RCA, Geffen and Capitol Records whilst arranging and conducting The BBC Concert Orchestra and The City Of Prague Philharmonic, Baldry's expansive experience has in result meant a bigger approach to ideas. With access to working with world-class orchestras, he has been able to create large-scale epic arrangements, which has no doubt furthered his talent for emotive, cinematic compositions. Often described as "storytelling," Baldry himself regards AJE's musical output as the painting of a scene not unlike the role of a film score.
