Dive into the soulful rhythms of 'Mod Jazz', a compilation album that brings together an eclectic mix of artists embodying the hard bop and instrumental styles of the 1950s to the 1970s. Released by Kent in 1996, this CD is a tribute to the era's rich jazz tapestry, offering listeners a curated experience of the genre's golden ages. The collection features a runtime of 74 minutes of pure musical finesse, all encased in a standard jewel case that reflects the quality of the contents within. With its excellent grading for both the CD and case, 'Mod Jazz' stands as a timeless piece for enthusiasts and collectors alike, promising an auditory journey through the influential landscapes of jazz history.
If you like late 50s/ early 60s Jazz of the Hammond / Flamingo club persuasion then this is for you.
This is the Jazz that early Mods (as in Mods and Rockers rather than Modern Jazz fans) discovered and made their own befits the Mod movement became a mass teen movement.
Kent started the Mod jazz series with this CD and they have carried on in a similar top quality vein ever since - the twelfth has just been released.
Highly recommended!
