“Literal Jazz” is a soulful and genre-blending collaboration between CJ Keys and ZANI that lives up to its name — a direct homage to the roots of jazz while blending it seamlessly with modern house elements. The track is rich with live instrumentation, notably smooth piano chords, laid-back basslines, and intricate drum patterns that echo traditional jazz stylings with a deep, groove-heavy twist.
CJ Keys, Soulful Disciple, Nathii Keyz and Oddxperienc recently appeared on Pholas Chant.
ZANI’s presence adds a refined and emotive layer, complementing CJ Keys’ signature production flair. The composition is both mellow and complex — offering head-nodding rhythm for relaxed listeners and intricate detail for audiophiles who appreciate musical craftsmanship.
“Literal Jazz” sits at the intersection of deep house and classic jazz — perfect for Sunday chillout sessions, sophisticated DJ sets, or just vibing in reflective solitude. It’s a classy and contemplative track that reminds us that jazz, even in its literal form, continues to evolve.
