As dedicated record collectors, we at Jazzman Records love nothing more than discovering good and obscure soul, jazz and funk records.

We started out by selling rare and obscure vinyl from a market stall in Camden in the early ‘90s, and we have now branched out into reissuing those very records so sought after by collectors.

The result so far is 6 record labels and over 200 high quality releases on LP, CD, 7” and as downloads.

We continue to scour the world to find interesting and rare records to re-release... We Dig Deeper!

Mo' Wax was a UK-based record label owned by James Lavelle, who founded it in the early 1990s with Tim Goldsworthy. Steve Finan became co-owner shortly after. The label came to recognition for being at the forefront of trip hop, turntablism and alternative rap during the mid-90s. The label is also responsible for bringing attention to the graffiti artist Futura 2000 by using his artwork on many of its releases in the early to mid 1990s. Lavelle ended up signing partial ownership of Mo' Wax over to A&M Records (now part of the Universal Music Group) in 1996. Currently, some of the Mo' Wax catalogue is part of the Beggars Group, but there are rumors that the label itself has folded and is no longer putting out new releases.

The name 'Mo' Wax' is a shortened form of 'Mo' Wax Please', which was the title of a column James Lavelle wrote in the magazine Straight No Chaser and the club night he ran (Saturdays at the Fridge in Brixton and with Patrick Forge at the Gardening Club). This in turn was influenced by the Freddie Roach LP, 'Mo' Greens Please' on Blue Note records. The original Mo' Wax logo as used on the early releases was designed by UK graphic designer Swifty, but the label excelled their reputation by featuring artwork contributions from Futura, Robert Del Naja (from Massive Attack) and Req 1. Ben Drury was the main designer responsible for the art direction and design of the label. In 2005, Lavelle started a clothing line called Surrender, and launched Mo' Wax Arts. Mo' Wax Arts is a new company managed by Henry Lavelle (James' brother), who translated Futura's talent into merchandise, toys and fashion with the label Surrender.

In the beginning EABS was sort of a movement, idea – reconstruction of deconstruction. It was a tribute to Ahmad Jamal, Gil Scott-Heron, Jay Dee,
Pete Rock and many more musical icons. The first sessions gathered mainly improvising musicians. Some of them have found about this event by
chance. Unexpectedly, EABS host crew has extended by few musicians who came to play on the sessions regularly. Thus, the band has become a collage of talented characters who came out of different styles and genres. Ultimately, EABS is a septet.

EABS is the innovative approach to jazz through the prism of hip-hop vibe, vibe which brought up these musicians. They blend elements of soul,
funk, hip-hop or electro keeping up with fresh approach to composition. What is more, EABS seeks to breathe fire into jazz bringing back its
former glory ignoring clichés, exploring and experimenting.
