Jazzmatazz Volume: 1

by Guru

Jazzmatazz Volume: 1 cover art

Guru's visionary solo project, 'Jazzmatazz Volume: 1', fundamentally legitimized the fusion of live acoustic jazz and boom-bap hip-hop. Featuring contributions from legends like Donald Byrd and Roy Ayers, the album is incredibly warm and mellow, matching conscious, urban rhymes with a highly rhythmic, nocturnal calm.
