When the Jazzmatazz Vol 1 first dropped it was hailed as a historically significant project that bound hip-hop and jazz together.
Fourteen years later and Guru is ready to unleash the fourth instalment of the series.
Guru and Solar will release Jazzmatazz Vol. 4: The Hip-Hop Jazz Messenger on their 7 Grand Records label and will feature jazz powerhouses such as Vivian Green, Caron Wheeler, Raheem Devaughn, Bob James, David Sanborn, Common, Blackalicious, Slum Village, Kem, Bobby Valentino, Damian Marley and many more.
"Without question, this is the best Jazzmatazz release yet," Guru said. "This latest incarnation contains not only Hip-Hop and Jazz, but also elements of soul, funk and rock. Since the inception of Jazzmatazz, one of the main focuses has been that it has something for every generation and music lover. It’s timeless. When we enter into these projects we’re working with artists that are relevant and it provides for that fresh new territory."
Jazzmatazz Vol.4: The Hip-Hop Jazz Messenger is set for launch June 4th.
