- The Cinematic Orchestra
"The Cinematic Orchestra" are nu jazz/downtempo group based out of London, formed in 1999 by producer and band-leader Jason Swinscoe.

Their releases contain a lot of instrumentals, but they have also been joined on tracks by some amazing vocalists, including legendary jazz artist Fontella Bass, and British rapper Roots Manuva. Join us as we delve further into the music and the beginnings of "The Cinematic Orchestra".

1 hr 26 min - Raphael Saadiq
Born Charles Ray Wiggins, "Raphael Saadiq" officially cemented his solo career in 2002 with his debut album "Instant Vintage". A sarcastic title, the album was a nod to the throwaway culture of instant pop music which Raphael believed consumed the mainstream music scene at the time. But this debut release was not the start of his career. His history includes playing in bars when he was just 7 years old, going on tour with Prince when he was 19 years old, being a part of one of the early 90's biggest selling R&B acts and producing for artists including Tupac and Mary J. Blige. Jay and Jesse explore more in this latest episode of Roots to Grooves.
