strives on the one hand for the fusion of jazz and HipHop items, on the other hand inspires the Live jazz of instruments and its sound this innovative music direction like a rich fertile soil. The word spoken as Rap shows as a the printout of mental and political sovereignty, manifests itself in the HipHop music in arrow-fast and razor-sharp Rapping Vocals. Important sociopolitical topics are taken up and music embodied at the same time hope, faith and a possible way out of all the despair. Here we access the roots of the black-inspired HipHop idea; Guru embodied with its epic rhymes an honest and positive character and takes over the role of a teacher, even a father. For a long time before virtual HipHop was available records in the eighties, in the powerful Bronx already first Turntable mix with disks of James Brown, Ray Ayers and Donald Byrd were cut. In the early seventies Vynilartists already scratched&moved such as Grandmaster Flash already mixed and even let tapes of Revox fly. The jazz always injected the HipHop the certain Flavor. Under the guidance of host Guru succeeds to the young musicians with the " volume 1 " from " Jazzmatazz " in my opinion a bridging of the generations.
Page A: the Mentor Guru speaks the introduction, all participating musician are introduced. The jazz becomes motive, only one trumpet run, a loop becomes audible and simultaneous here to the mental origin of Jazzmatazz. " loungin " underlaid of fat Beats is able to blew your radio. Guru goes as a singer into action; as always self-confident and positively and its HipHop dream occurs. Jazzdinosaur Donald Byrd improvised at the trumpets and at the piano and supplies an outstanding performance. With the fat HipHop TRACK " transit ride " continues it lively. HipHop meets on Live jazz and becomes the link of the continents. Guru carries us forward on a journey to New York; here course-rigidly that steps evenly existed also in this modern world into the foreground and speaks about all the bad. I believe, this music can many of the everyday life tears heal; on the other page where I live here also here in the heart of Europe. " NO time to play " featured DC Lee, a female Soulsaengerin. Ronny Jordan jammt in addition relaxed at the guitars and plays a quiet Blues. " down the backstreets " tells a history from the Ghetto, of the backyards of the large city. it sounds to me like alive more consciously from humans played instruments, Lonnie lists plays those akkustisches and electrical piano parts it´s a wonderful, relaxing number.
Page B: the second page of the record begins with " respektful dedications "; a xylophon loop provides the appropriate atmosphere here. " surely belongs take a look(at yourself) " Roy Ayers plays an inimitable improvisation at the Vibes inspired from this inimitable flow, this Spirit, and exceeds themselves my opinion after. Guru occurs again very self-confidently and sings "... you live for yourself and all your chances have blown away... "; contrary to it, because he created it on the other page. "... you have to of DO it for yourself... " it reminds its brothers and wants to them out a way out of their misery to point. " than most " translated as much is called more slicker as " more cleverly than other " Gary Barnacle plays first-class saxophone inserts. The melody lit up in the time and slides on the gentle flow. " times " MCSolar sings le bien, le; hiphop becomes the basis for the fraternization of the continents. Influenced by TripHop Beat we hear " sights into the town center " appears to us as rather sad song, in addition, sadly, it is called "..got the people crying got the people dying.. " it concerns of parting... Courtney Pine at Sax and flute.
Result: The artistic experiment " Jazzmatazz " inevnted a new urban, Be Bop jazz style, which found its high point with this composition in the year 1993. On this factory the American HipHop of pioneers of the recent time unites with renowned typists of the American Soul and radio scene of the early twentieth century. That were not only the first, successful jazz musicians of the twentieth century at all, them belong also to the generation of artists, whose music was pressed for the first time on records. Guru united the true pioneers of the BeBop and Swing music with the music project " Jazzmatazz " all and with them together enstand my opinion after almost timeless jazz and HipHop a composition.
