Jazzanova – In Between (Deluxe Edition): A Timeless Tribute to Nu-Jazz Innovation

Jazzanova – In Between (Deluxe Edition)

To close a year-long celebration of their groundbreaking debut, Jazzanova and Sonar Kollektiv proudly unveil In Between (Deluxe Edition) — the definitive collection honoring one of electronic jazz’s most influential albums. Originally released in 2002, In Between redefined nu-jazz and future soul with its seamless fusion of sampling, live instrumentation, and emotional depth.

The Deluxe Edition spans nearly 70 tracks across five chapters, offering an immersive journey through Jazzanova’s evolution — from early experiments to global collaborations and modern reinterpretations.

1. In Between (Original Album)

The 2002 classic that changed everything. Featuring standout tracks like No Use, Another New Day, Keep Falling, and Soon, the album pushed boundaries with its blend of broken beat rhythms, soulful vocals, and intricate production. Critics hailed it as “a work of real beauty” (AllMusic) and “the essence and inexorable rise of the European nu-jazz sound” (PopMatters).

2. In Between Revisited: Jazzanova Live

Recorded live at Little Big Beat Studios in 2024, the Jazzanova Live Band reimagines the album with stunning musicianship and guest appearances from Wayne Snow, Clara Hill, and HEEN. The result is a re-envisioned masterpiece—alive, organic, and deeply soulful.

3. In Between (Remixes)

The 2025 remix compilation breathes new life into Jazzanova’s legacy, featuring reinterpretations by Jacana People, Eric Hilton, Crackazat, Satin Jackets, Kid Fonque, Groove Chronicles, and more. From deep house and nu-disco to Afro-electronica, this global remix project connects generations of sound innovators.

4. Singles & Rarities Collection (Pre-In Between)

A deep dive into Jazzanova’s formative years, this collection includes classics like Fedime’s Flight, Atabaque, Caravelle, Coffee Talk, and That Night (Original Single Version). These early works reveal the group’s roots in jazz, Afro-Latin grooves, and club-ready experimentation.

5. Remixed (2003 Album)

Revisiting a landmark in nu-jazz culture, this reissue gathers transformative remixes from Madlib, Kyoto Jazz Massive, Bugz in the Attic, King Britt, Vikter Duplaix, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Domu, and Stereolab—a time capsule of early 2000s innovation and cross-genre collaboration.

A Celebration of Past, Present, and Future

In Between (Deluxe Edition) is more than a retrospective—it’s a sonic anthology tracing Jazzanova’s influence across decades of jazz, soul, and electronic music. Their artistry continues to inspire, innovate, and unite global listeners.
