When Acid
Jazz founder Eddie Piller asked the actor Martin Freeman to do a jazz radio
show they could hardly imagine the response. From around the world emails and
tweets inundated the show and they swore to themselves that they couldn’t leave
it there.
Now, two
years on this compilation of their favourite jazz has arrived. From the rolling
hard bop of Lee Morgan and Art Blakey, via screaming soul organ, jazz funk
original acid jazz onwards to the post modern spiritual jazz of Kasami
Washington, this is an incredible journey.
Released in
March on double CD and Vinyl with deluxe gatefold packaging this is the album
that will launch Acid Jazz’s 30th Anniversary celebrations.
