On his return to Antilles and his debut with the Verve Group, Courtney Pine reaches out to unchartered musical zones, reflecting the sound of the street in a modern mix of pop, hip hop and jazz music. Described as Courtney's most focused album to date, Modern Day Jazz Stories combines the worlds of jazz and hip hop, utilizing the traditional sounds of jazz instruments simultaneously with turntables, but without overdubs.
