DJ JAZZY JEFF レコード& CD

Review: Legendary DJ and producer DJ Jazzy Jeff might be best known for his work in the world of hip hip but here he dives foot first into some fresh house grooves. 'Evil' is the sort of steamy, funk laced gem that you might expect to come from the studio one certain Moodymann. The lush guitar licks, noodling keys and well placed vocal samples all ooze authenticity and class. They meld the old with the new into something simple irresistible. A fine instrumental pairs things back even further for more straight up dance floor thrills.

Review: DJ Jazzy Jeff's present is as bright as his past is celebrated. Awarded the first rap Grammy in 1989, as one half of DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, founder of the A Touch Of Jazz studios and producer for everyone from Eminem to Michael Jackson, in 2007 the iconic Philadelphian is known as the world's premier hip-hop party DJ. "The Return Of Hip Hop" is taken from his latest album, "The Return Of The Magnificent".

Review: The legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff needs no introduction. He's produced tracks from numerous artists, from Eminem to Jill Scott. In addition to a successful TV career (which saw him act alongside former partner in crime Will Smith in "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air") he has sold over 10 million records worldwide and was the first rap producer to win a Grammy. "The Return Of The Magnificent" is, in Jeff's own words, the "best record I have ever done".

Review: The Grammy award winning DJ Jazzy Jeff presents the follow up to 2001's hugely successful release "The Magnificent" with a brand new album "The Return Of The Magnificent". The legendary first album featured guest vocalists such as Jill Scott, Shaun Stockman from Boyz II Men and Freddie Foxxx, who all lent their considerable vocal talents to make it a modern soul classic.

The EP features Kanye West's new protegee Rhymefest, the infamous CL Smooth, North Carolina's Little Brother, Neo soul superstar Raheem DeVaughn and the new instrumental Latin cut Bossy Nova. Jeff himself says "This is turning out to be the best record I have ever done".

Review: In the pantheon of Marvin Gaye classics, "T Plays It Cool" is a steadfast favourite here at Juno Records. That intro, the stone cold drum fill, the monster saxophone, the subtle moog melodies, and the fact it was part of Gaye's superb soundtrack for Troubleman. A mark of its stature as a classic is the countless times it has been sampled, with Originals opting to line the flip of their latest 45 with Jazzy Jeff's chunky late '80s cut "A Touch Of Jazz". In his hands that classic lilting sax line and numerous other elements are included in a sampledelic fashion aimed at showcasing his scratching prowess.

Review: Bob James continues to innovate and remain revealing decades after first serving new standards in jazz funk. His latest album is another one that will connect with fans from across the ages not least because it features a rather prominent collaboration with the legendary hip-hop turntablist and producer DJ Jazzy Jeff who is best known for his partnership with Will Smith both in music and the hit US TV sitcom the Fresh Prince of Bell Air. Here Bob and Jazzy join up for 'That Bop' which is a thumping dance cut with big pano hooks that comes all those years after Jeff first samples James in something of a lovely full circle moment.
