VA - Mod Jazz Forever
This latest installment of the Mod Jazz series offers the same irresistible mixture of sounds which made the previous volumes so delightful. Hammond organ stompers, bluesy vocal numbers and soulful grooves abound on this compilation that works as well in the living room as on the dance floor.
"The Ace/Kent label's ongoing, if sporadic, Mod Jazz series is a fine example of how to construct an intelligent and highly enjoyable batch of anthologies spotlighting rather obscure tracks in a genre that doesn't get a great deal of attention from history books. Showcasing jazz from the 1960s with a good measure of soul (and sometimes some rock, pop, and funk influence), this is the kind of jazz that's usually more accessible than most to non-jazz specialists, though it doesn't mean jazzheads of a certain taste can't find it to their liking too." - Allmusic
"The Mod Jazz crew are back in town, and we have scoured the world to provide you with the perfect blend of jazz, with a touch of the blues, a shake of soul and a pinch of latin. As usual, we pay only lip service to genre divides, and bring you lots of great jazz vocals, often with an R&B twist." - Ace Records
