Black Jazz Chronicles

Years after making his name as part of the Ballistic Brothers and X-press 2 (plus virtually all of Black Science Orchestra), Ashley Beedle began recording a proper solo project in 1997. With the help of Marden Hill's Chris Bemand, Beedle released two EPs as Black Jazz Chronicles for Nuphonic Records. The following year brought the project's debut full-length, Future Ju-ju.
