Guru: Jazzmatazz Volume 1 (Vinyl LP)

Guru's Jazzmatazz 1, originally released in 1993, is one of the first albums to combine a live jazz band with hip hop production and rapping.

Guru had a vision and brought together a diverse group of jazz cats both old and new; Lonnie Liston Smith, Branford Marsalis, Ronny Jordan, Donald Byrd and Roy Ayers as well as vocalists like Carleen Anderson, N'Dea Davenport (Brand New Heavies) and French rapper MC Solaar.

Jazzmatazz proved to be a highly influential album and a huge commercial success.
