For Fans Of
Guru turned hip-hop on its head with the launch of his Jazzmatazz series, bringing live jazz musicians in to play on the tracks rather than sampling them. The result is a jazz-fused hip-hop album that plays easy and accessible from front to back. Released in 1993, Jazzmatazz, Vol. 1 was among the first records to pair a live jazz band with hip-hop production and rapping, gathering a diverse cast of old-school and new-school players including Roy Ayers, Donald Byrd, Lonnie Liston Smith, Ronny Jordan, and Courtney Pine, plus vocal turns from Carleen Anderson, N'Dea Davenport of the Brand New Heavies, Dee C Lee, and French rapper MC Solaar. That range gives every track its own distinct jazz feel.
