JAZZ ROOM PRESENTS: COVERS / VARIOUS

Jazz Room head honcho Paul Murphy kept hearing all these fab versions of some of his favorite tunes. He couldn't release them all, a year is just not long enough so it was time to put together the first Jazz Room Records compilation, entitled 'JAZZ ROOM PRESENTS: COVERS'. Snappy & to the point... Some exclusives and first time vinyl releases on this double vinyl album, ranging from the psychedelic jazz fusion of Helsinki collective Saimaa with their epic live version of the Deodato classic 'Super Strut' to the Japanese shibuya jazz artistry of Quasimode with a jazzy take on Galaxy 2 Galaxy's 90's techno floor filler. Jazz meets dub in the Slowly-produced 'Riot In Lagos' and some finger snapping cool New York vibes on Giacomo Gates and his version of Gil Scott-Heron's 'Is That Jazz'. There's even a gospel meets soul jazz tribute to Simon and Garfunkel. Louie Vega says: 'This is an awesome compilation!' Tracklisting: A1.
