Jazzman

Jazzman Records is a UK label that was established in 1998 by Gerald Short, a dealer in rare funk and jazz LPs and 45s. With a mission to re-release the best and most obscure tracks from the late '60s and early '70s, Jazzman Records aims to bring back the long-forgotten sound that didn't receive recognition during that time period.
Since its inception, Jazzman Records has been dedicated to unearthing hidden gems of jazz and funk music, showcasing both well-known artists as well as more obscure talents. The label's releases span across various formats including vinyl records, CDs, and digital downloads.
With their extensive catalog of *artists* and *performers*, Jazzman Records continues to be at the forefront of preserving and promoting this unique genre of music. Whether you're a seasoned collector or new to the world of jazz and funk, Jazzman Records offers an unparalleled selection for all enthusiasts.

Rare, obscure and esoteric UK jazz! Diving into the unknown world of the private pressing, Jazzman Records presents some of the rarest and wildest British jazz ever recorded! The major stars of British jazz such as Stan Tracey, Michael Garrick and Joe Harriott are now rightly recognised as the giants they were, and the legendary Brit jazz recordings of the 1960s are amongst the most highly prized of all collectable records. But what happened to jazz in the UK when the recording industry lost faith in it? A New Life is the first survey of British jazz labels and musicians that went their own way in the 1970s, bringing to the light the unknown indie gems and outsider private pressings that let jazz musicians keep the faith into the 1980s. From the time-bending spirit music of London's Lori Vambe to the psych-jazz of Birmingham's Poliphony, via Spot The Zebra's jazz dedication to David Attenborough and Indiana Highway's modal Christmas carolling, A New Life chronicles a compelling selection of lost and obscure jewels of the British jazz underground. Compiled by Francis Gooding and Duncan Brooker (the team responsible for the acclaimed Next Stop Soweto series), and coming with extensive sleevenotes based on interviews with the musicians, A New Life is the first major British jazz collection since Gilles Petersen's Impressed series, and the first ever to shed light on the forgotten legacy of independent, regional and experimental Brit jazz. · All tracks fully licensed and digitally restored. Only 1000 double vinyl gatefold LPs pressed. Comprehensive and detailed liner notes with pictures and information on each track direct from our interviews with the musicians involved.
