Various Artists - Stirring Up Some Jazz – The Original Sound of UK Club Land

WELCOME TO THE CLUB! And our latest adventures in U.K. Club Land where we continue our exploration of the 'Club Beat' - the roots of Mod, R&B and Soul - that coalesced in the bohemian melting pot of Soho, London, post WW2. Our musical journey embraces the early influences of Ska, Gospel, Beat, Blues and, in this chapter, JAZZ.

A unique chapter in the progression of underground dance music, drawing heavily on the pioneering clubs of the day: 'The Flamingo'; Cy Laurie's Jazz Club (the future Scene Club) and Humphrey Lyttleton's Club.

Features a slew of new-to-CD tracks including: Dave Bailey's seldom heard original version of 'Comin' Home Baby'; Honey Sanders' rarity 'Some Like It Cool' and Lyn Avalon's moody 'I Walk The Streets'.

Illustrated and informative liner notes.
