Item Description
As labelled on the front sleeve Guru’s Jazzmatazz Vol. 1 is “an
experimental fusion of hip-hop and jazz” hosted by Guru (MC
and band member of Gang Starr together with DJ Premier). This
album was born out of Guru’s love for jazz and was one of the
first albums to fuse a live jazz band with Rap and R&B artists
backed by Hip-Hop styled beats and production. Members of the
band reads like a who’s who of famous musicians and jazz icons,
including Donald Byrd, Courtney Pine, Lonnie Liston Smith,
Branford Marsalis, Ronny Jordan, Donald Byrd and Roy Ayers.
Vocal collaborations are from Carleen Anderson, Brand New
Heavies’ singer N’Dea Davenport, Dee C Lee (from The Style
Council), French rapper MC Solaar while Guru keeps the project
in check with his loose laidback Hip-Hop flow.
When it was released in 1993, Guru’s Jazzmatazz peaked at #24
on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart but had far greater
commercial success in Europe.
Unfortunately Guru (real name: Keith Edward Elam) passed away
in 2010 but his legacy influenced Hip-Hop artists like Madlib (on
his “Shades Of Blue” project), The Roots and many more.
The 25th Anniversary Edition of this groundbreaking Hip-Hop
and Jazz album is pressed on blue vinyl in a limited run of 5.000
individually numbered copies.
