king of (nu)jazz

Dear friends and listeners....

From classic true jazz to jazz-infuenced futurisms, this two disc set brings us “The History” and “The Present” of jazz.I got this recently , and was impressed with the collections diversity. What more can you ask for compiled by two specialists in the genre of the jazzy dance .Veteran Giles Peterson and West Germany’s finest mixmen Jazzanova.Side 1 is more traditional with classics including Donald Byrd, Roy Haines,Mark Murphy to John Coltrane, this is classic Giles Peterson’s colection. Disc 2 is Jazzanova’s cutting edge choice of nu jazz grooves remaining pretty cool sleek and downtempoe with choice offerings featuring Two Banks and four a classic from japan’s UFO and 4 hero offering my favourites. Whatever your choice of jazz there should be something here for you whether it’s the grooves and base of Roy Haines , or the seductive Horns of Coltranes Equinox or the laid back jazz electronica of 4 hero. Even if you are one of these people who instantly say: I don’t like jazz! Because if that’s the case I’m sure you’ll be crossing over once you’ve heard this collection of kings.Forget the dodgy CD cover just listen to the content.All told this is a wonderful exploration of jazz and jazz offshoots, boasting an eclectic (for sure) batch of tracks, a selection of smart, alluring music to drift through for a while......HERE part.1 and HERE part2......zero
