Welcome to the 2nd Volume of the Jazz Room series compiled by DJ legend and label owner Paul Murphy.

Following on from the success of the original Jazz Room compilation released by BBE in 2019 Paul has compiled a double vinyl volume of Jazz dance tracks that range from heavy funk of New Orleans to Latin grooves and contemporary jazz from the new generation.
Tracks written by Dizzy Gillespie sit with those from the musical pens of Raul Monsalve and Fela Kuti.

Paul's own label, Jazz Room Records, specialises in re-issues and it is his expertise in finding the rare and the obscure and matching with the new and the fresh that creates the joy filled atmosphere on this compilation.

This album really is as much for the party people as it it for the headz and links the audiences from his legendary gigs in the 1970s and 80s at the Electric Ballroom, 100 Club and The Blue Note to those at his current appearances at Spiritland, Shiftless Shuffle and
Brilliant Corners.

Indeed, among the rarities and the global rhythms in this collection are some excellent cover versions of tracks from the aforementioned Fela Kuti, The Stranglers, Azymuth and The Human League (yes, The Human League). What Paul Murphy has done here is compile a selection of tracks that could easily be a DJ club set, a soundtrack to a party, a Summer festival highlight or a night of music appreciation with a favourite tipple and partner.

The Jazz Room Volume 2 is a must have compilation and, along with Volume 1, is a masterpiece of music curation.

Artist: Mankoora
Title: El Loco
Cat#: HBR-014
Format: 7" Vinyl / Digital
Release: 24/09/2012

What would happen if Renegades Of Jazz got into Latin depths?
Right, the answer is called: Mankoora.

Get involved with the first single release of Mankoora which now sees the light of the vinyl universe. Mankoora members Loopez (Piano & Organ), Alexander 'Newton' Bednasch (Bass & Guitar) and David Hanke (production) are coming up on the string to let
the world know about them.

Mankoora deliver two hot & spicy dancefloor tunes to set the night on fire. First track 'El Loco' sees how they fuse uptempo Breakbeats, driving bass lines, hard hitting horns and a drooling organ to a latin groove that will leave you wanting more. An instant shaker with rich percussion lines and trough drums that won't leave any last toe-tipper dry on the dancefloor.

Flipside is the killer 'Boogaloo Tormenta', a great and relentless piece of music that will get you hooked, strictly for dancers! Introduced by the catching piano line and some great trumpet licks, the song quickly turns into the main vocal hook for ecstatic hip shakin' and wild fidgeting. The track goes mad with a filthy drum and rhythm break in the middle before turning back to the shakin' part....

Aired by the likes of Craig Charles (BBC6 Music) and Pete Isaac (Jelly Jazz) the Mankoora outfit already gets massive support from all over the globe.

“Let me be your Boogaloo Tormenta!!”

“Bloody fantastic!”
