Various Artists/Soul Jazz Records Presents - London Jazz Classics
London Jazz Classics was originally released in 1993 - the first album ever released on Soul Jazz Records. The album brought together rare and obscure dance tracks in a unique blend of jazz dance and fusion, funk, Brazilian and Latin grooves.
The album was ironically titled - none of the music was from London, none of the music was traditionally classified as jazz, and all of the tracks were virtually unknown to most people at the time. Instead, these were tracks that filled the dance floors in an emerging jazz dance scene in London, created by a small group of DJs - Paul Murphy, Gilles Peterson, Sylvester, Patrick Forge and a few others.
