Various – Holding Hands

Go straight to the B side 1 and check the version of the Hancock classic ” Chameleon” and the wicked  jazz-salsa of ” Straight life”. Two for the Plastic People massive!

This is the continuation of volume 1 that has covered Polish jazz in 60s.  This volume covers 70s (just one track was recorded in the 80s) that brought all kind of influences to jazz scene stretching from funk and fusion, to Latin, Brazilian, rock and folk. It also brought jazziness to other styles and blurred the boundaries between them so some of the artist featured here are not necessarily from the jazz scene at all. Groove became very important in general so you will find it here in big dozes wrapped in a Latino American rhythms or soft funk form, fusion and enriched with plenty of vocals.
