After his grandfather bequeathed him over 1000 jazz cassettes, San Francisco-based Jazzy Fox started re-envisioning the classics that previous generations enjoyed so much. By lacing up old recordings with bigger drums and funky basslines, old songs are given a new life, and listeners can get a glimpse into the rich history of Jazz music.

Not limited to any one style, Jazzy Fox employs various genres and tries to maintain the authentic vintage sound that is inherent in the old recordings. Using modern-day studio equipment and instruments helps propel the old styles into the future, bridging huge generational gaps while simultaneously educating and entertaining the audience.

Jazzy Fox’s latest collection of remixes, “Boom Bap Swing,” spans 5 decades of  jazz. By pairing swing with funk & soul drum samples, a smooth and complex hybrid springs to life. Hearing the heroic virtuosity of the genre’s most talented soloists is only enhanced by the presence of Fox’s sonic contributions. The title of the album reflects the type of vibe consistent throughout: hip-hop influenced, midtempo swing that makes you want to dance.
