The Jazz Fizz Vol.1

ACIEEED! My god, it looks like jazz is finally moving out of the middle class drawing rooms and late night dinner clubs and back where it belongs – on the streets! Youth and arrogance are hijacking a long since stagnant form of music, and injecting it with fresh life – and not a little cappucino.(Chris Hunt 1988)

Welcome to The Jazz Fizz.A Journey in 8 Parts.In this Time Travel we visit the Acid Jazz Scene of the years 1988-1996.Developed in the UK at a Time where Acid House & Warehouse Party's were dominating the Dancefloor.It's origin is controversial but one of it's main forces were Giles Peterson and his 'Talkin' Loud Sayin Something' Sessions at the regular Sunday afternoon club at Dingwalls in Camden,London.From there it spread in no time across the Globe.In this this first Volume we see the early beginnings with Tunes from the first offical Acid Jazz Record ‘Acid Jazz And Other Illicit Grooves’ and some of the gray eminences behind the Scenes.Like the ex-Style Councilors Steve White & Mick Talbot.Both involved in several Bands like Galliano,Jazz Renegades & The Nighttrains.Paul Weller as Producer for The Jazz Defektors.Check out their only Album.It's Gold.More about the history in the next Parts of The Jazz Fizz.

Chelsea Girls

Chicks on Beat NO.4.This Time we're visiting Great Britain.The U.K. is the other big Center of Pop Culture as we know it.After dealing with the Consequences of the 2nd World War,Britains Youth started a Revolution whose impact we are feeling today.Mary Quant created the Miniskirt and conquered the World with her Model Twiggy.Richard Lester shot "The Knack … and How to Get It".Sandie Shaw won the Eurovision Song Contest.Beatles,Stones,The Who,you know them all.Here are some other female Representatives of British Beat.With Jackie Trent who is better known for her Songwriting with her Husband "The Great" Tony Hatch,than for her singing.Witch is a real shame because she has superb Voice.She wrote a lot Songs for Petula Clark.For some unfair Reasons Miss Clark has a rather campy Reputation.Best known for her Über Hit"Downtown",Petula Clark has much more to offer.I recommend a rediscovery.Of course we have the greatest white Voice ever,Dusty Springfield.Another underestimated Singer is Cilla Black.She is mostly seen as second best Dusty,which is totally unfair.She is represented with one of favourite sad Love Songs of all Time.Enjoy this little Trip back into Swingin' London.If you want a second Part,then leave a Comment.
