welcome to season five of the jazz jousters sessions. after four years of non stop album releases we thought we d take a few months time out to think and work out what we would do next this season. we decided to attempt another locations series since we are yet to take on some of the locations many of you have suggested via our updates pages and emails. so here we go...
mjm would like to present locations: usa, the vinyl and cassette edition as we continue to explore the sounds, influences and styles of jazz music in different regions of the world.
in this session we hear the result of each jouster as they each chose one or more jazz musicians from the united states and began to work with that sound and come up with an instrumental in their own style, just like in season four. however there was a twist, this time they were challenged to focus on jazz between the years of 1960 to 1969. see what you think of the outcome...

great reissue of the hugely in-demand rota enterprises 12 inch release of panaches massive jazz-funk tune *sweet music*. unstoppable and fiercely funky, this brilliant cut never lets up the energy for a second - frenetic guitars and bass combine with grooving keys and sweet vocals in a highly-charged dancefloor bomb. backed with the equally wonderful instrumental jazzy version which ramps up the drums and keys, a big favourite of kenny dope amongst others. unbelievably good and ultra hard-to-find in the original, you wont want to miss this!
