Every jazz generation gets the message in its own ways about the souful, bluesy and swinging 1950s/60s hard-bop style. The energetic Uganda-born and Peckham-raised trumpeter, bandleader and record label creator Mark Kavuma, leader since 2015 of the Banger Factory band and its eponymously named label, is one of the current UK scene's most influential examples.

Banger Factory's fifth release, Ultrasound, is right in the ballpark of its dedication to authentic yet contemporary and danceable jazz-rooted music - despite two-thirds of this fine set saluting the sound of one of jazz's most ornery iconoclasts, Thelonious Monk. Kavuma and his distinctive new front-line partner, the succinctly dry-toned young Trinity Laban saxophone graduate Theo Erskine, front a sharp trio featuring fast-rising pianist Noah Stoneman, who seems to have absorbed Monk's conception as if he'd grown up with it.

Opening track 'It' is a classically Monkish hard bop anthem in its mix of swing and jarring resolutions, before Erskine's solo splices sparing multiphonics and pithy Rollins-like phrases, and Kavuma uncorks a stream of fluid long lines and deftly-tongued staccato effects. The poignant 'The Loneliest' (the only cover) draws a superb Monk-infused piano solo of scampering runs and unerringly timely chordwork from Stoneman – who's quite a star of this show – and Kavuma's frantically hook-repeating 'The Return of Johnny Bravo' sparks the trumpeter into quick-changing phrase shapes and upper-register leaps. Stoneman's graceful reverie 'June', and Erskine and Kavuma's liltingly waltzing 'The Day After Tomorrow' open up wider stylistic references to wrap up a classily-crafted and warmly affectionate set.
