“Naïve computer jazz” is how Mitchel van Dinther, aka Jameszoo, describes his music, and indeed his 2016 debut Fool, on the arguably naïve, yet visionary, Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder label, was a fizzing sound collage of cut-up jazz and burbling electronica. Curiously, the magnetism of the project attracted the likes of former Coltrane pianist Steve Kuhn, bass behemoth Thundercat, and a coterie of some of van Dinther's top jazz contemporaries from his native Netherlands. This wonky wizardry was then taken up by esteemed Metropole Orkest conductor/arranger Jules Buckley for a 2017 live performance, which has resulted in this sumptuously symphonic take on Jameszoo's surprisingly sophisticated jazztronica. With the original Fool album as his template, Buckley has injected every musical fragment of the original with epic cinematic power, and in true Metropole style, the 49-piece orchestra lock in as one giant string-powered unit. There's an additional jazz boost from such quality players as Brit beat-maestro Spaven, the dexterous keys playing of Dutchman Broos as well as some face-melting sax from Dikeman, who all up the ante on cue. The real stars here though are Jameszoo's insistent melodies, which wrap themselves around the listener with powerful emotional undercurrents and no shortage of dynamism and drama. On the strength of this album, I'd say sometimes naïvety goes a long way.
