Mod Jazz Forever / Various Mod Jazz Forever / Various CD

2012 release, an installment in the popular Mod Jazz series of compilations. This best-selling series offers Jazz that is accessible, touching on it's Blues, Soul and Latin influences while always having a danceable beat. It includes the super-rare, the well known and the previously unreleased. Here are a couple of impossible-to-find tracks in the form of Troy Dodd's' 'The Real Thing' and Jesse Davis 'Night Bloomin' Jasmin'. Both are B-sides of super-expensive Northern rarities, but are excellent Mod Jazz tracks in their own right. We've chosen five previously unreleased cuts, including a stunning organ version of 'Whose Afraid of Virginia Wolf', a future R&B monster from Floyd White and a great boogaloo from Dave Hamilton.
