Jazz Room Head Honcho Paul Murphy kept hearing all these fab versions of some of his favourite 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 the Galaxy2Galaxy 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 Hip To The Trip version of Gil Scott-Heron’s “Is That Jazz”.

There’s even a Gospel meets Soul Jazz tribute to Simon and Garfunkel. Oh yeah. Did we say there’s a Chip Wickham exclusive too?
