This superb 2CD set brings you over 2 hours of the best in Nu Jazz Cool, including the cream of Italy's bossa nostra across the last fifteen years. If you're used to Nu Jazz lite and beats with a token double bass sample thrown in, try these tracks for the real deal: they ooze great musicianship and a feel that just can't be faked. And, in case you're still confused about the 'Nu Jazz' tag, leave it to Satchmo: "If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know!"


Nu jazz, nu bossa... At the tail-end of the acid jazz era, the media began whispering the 'nu' word as the latest jazz fusions went international and began looking past rare groove, jazz funk and soul to Brazil, to Africa, to unheralded genre-bending European artists like Marc Moulin and Volker Kriegel and beyond. Through a plucky band of pioneering DJs and producers, Italy joined the forefront of the new movement at an early stage and has remained there ever since.

The Italians already boasted a rich jazz heritage including a strong US connection: The Ratpack, of course, early stars like crooner Louis Prima, then saxman Joe Lovano, trumpeter Enrico Rava and more. For the nu jazz labels that run the Italian scene today, the reference points went way beyond trad to the nether regions of jazz, jazz that worked strictly for the dancefloor. The loungy, easy grooves of Pierro Umiliani and Armando Trovajoli, cool Italian '60s and '70s film soundtracks from the likes of Alessandro Alessandroni and Bruno Nicolai, even obscure library music and undiscovered big band combos that were now fresh for a new generation of dancers.

During the late '80s, while Italy was amassing rock-dominated labels, a conglomerate of knowledgeable DJs and producers including Jestofunk's Claudio "Mozart" Rispoli, Cesare "Black Mighty Wax" Cera and DJ Luca Trevisi hatched a plan for a fresh label stable. Irma Records was formed in Bologna in 1988, ushering in successive scenes from the days of early chillout and easy listening to the bossa and rare groove movements. Almost 20 years on, they are an Italian institution.

Since then, the bossa and jazz scenes have spawned some amazing Italian music. Within this collection, we dip into the classy Schema label, formed in '97 and consistently surprising with the sheer quality of their releases. Their vision goes far further than most labels, embracing true experimentation based on a deep knowledge of the past and the skill to translate it with new technology: it is as much about raising the profiles of the label's obscure influences as it is about creating an update that truly takes the music forward. Listen to Schema artists like Nicola Conte, Gerardo Frisina and The Dining Rooms and you know that this is a special collective. Respect for the music without pastiche and the musical nouse to carry it off.

To complete the Italian connection, we mine the catalogue of London's best-loved Italian ex-pat and lover of quality footwear, producer Simone Serritella and his Arision label. Linked closely with the London broken beat scene, Arision has been home to a glut of quality future jazz beats and fine archive Italian jazz nuggets: as Simone says, "once you are complete with the past, the boundaries of the future disappear." The label features all strains of Serritella's versatile production, led by his acclaimed work as Big Bang, alongside some valuable archive re-issues of Italian jazz heroes like Marco Di Marco and Gruppo Jazz Marca.

Finally, we hop to the UK, to the excellent Counterpoint label, run by DJ and rare vinyl purveyor, Jake Behnan. From Fertile Ground's recent output to Belgium's David Borsu and Sheffield's Deeperwiderhigher, this is another quality label that keeps the jazz quotient high in their nu jazz releases and never puts a foot wrong.

You have here 2CDs of the best of the genre, including the cream of Italy's bossa nostra across the last fifteen years. If you're used to nu jazz lite and beats with a token double bass sample thrown in, try these tracks for the real deal: they ooze great musicianship and a feel that just can't be faked. And, in case you're still confused about the 'nu jazz' tag, leave it to Satchmo: "If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know!"

CD 1

1. Nicola Conte: Bossa Per Due
From early days leading the groundbreaking Fez collective in Bari, Italy, referencing cool Italian film soundtracks of the '60s & '70s, Conte has become one of the finest DJs and producers of contemporary bossa anywhere. This track from his acclaimed 'Jet Sounds' album in 2000 became a big international winner and even soundtracked an Acura car ad in the US.

2. Montefiori Cocktail: Gipsy Woman
Yes, it's the old 'La Da Dee, Da Da Da' Crystal Waters tune given a crafty Italian bossa re-rub. Twins Francesco & Frederico Montefiori released some madcap loungeadelica during the international easy listening revival of the late '90s. Since then, they have become a big live draw, playing a staggering 500 gigs since 1997.

3. Was A Bee feat. Mario Bondi: This Is What You Are
Old meets new here as Mario Bondi brings some rich, '60s-style jazz crooning to a pattering 4/4 groove and some lush orchestrations, including trombone by Italian jazz master Gianluca Petrella. A big one for DJ Norman Jay on his Good Times Sound System.

4. Duran Y Garcia: Round Midnight
Conceived by producer Marco Duranti as a moniker for his Latin, Afro and funk dancefloor output with Italian DJ legend Maurizio Belladonna, Duran Y Garcia turned jazz heads with their solid album 'Encantado!' in 2001, including this terrific scatting bossa shuffler.

5. Tata Vasquez: Suite Guaracho pt. 2 (Beatfanatic edit)
One of the many cracking jazz and latin rarities unearthed for the Counterpoint label's 'Jazz Biznizz' compilation series, Vasquez' '70s barrio jam is a real feast of firey percussion and horns. Sweden's dynamite samba exponent, Beatfanatic, cuts 'n' pastes with some extra chunky beats beefing up the original.

6. Soul Bossa Trio: Naima (Stockholm Cyclo remix)
John Coltrane's 1960 classic, dedicated to his then wife Naima Grubbs, gets revived by Tokyo's revered Soul Bossa Trio, a big force in Japanese jazz since 1993 under bandleader Gonzales Suzuki. The tune is transformed into an epic bossa dancefloor suite by Stockholm Cyclo, upping the energy under the exquisite vocals of Ann Sally.

7. Hopper: Flightime
Luke Parkhouse aka Hopper may be a new name to many but, as the ace drummer on many a 4 Hero classic and Marc Mac's Visioneers project, he has all the right credentials. He's on great form on this one too with some intense jazz drumming driving hard over some great spacey keys.

8. Vipersquad Blends Marci Di Marco: Fontana Blu
Italian piano maestro Marco Di Marco's 1970 debut trio album 'Un Autunno A Parigi' featured the reflective 'Fontainbleau', recorded live in Paris. Here, versatile producer Daniel Maunick aka DJ Venom, son of Incognito lead man Bluey, follows up work for Far Out and Ubiquity with an accomplished mid-tempo twisted bossa take.

9. Dimensions 6: Un Cha… No Name
A brilliant sparse Rhodes groove courtesy of Jessica Lauren on keys, ex-Acid Jazz favourite and a regular session player with Europe's dance music production A-list from Joey Negro to Alex Attias. Big Bang's Simone Serritella gets funky with the beats for a slice of simple but deadly future fusion.

10. Big Bang: To The Full Every Minute (Yam Who? remix)
Serritella enlists an all-star line-up here as the magic flute of Nathan Haines joins forces with rising vocalist Rasiyah, emerging from the Tomorrow's Warriors jazz collective. Yam Who? delivers a belter, building from funky bass into a big latin-jazz shuffler.

11. Jestofunk: I'm Gonna Love You
This was the one that put Jestofunk and the fledgling Irma label firmly on the map back in '92. Blade, Kekko Farias and Mozart (man behind big Italo-house hit 'Found Love' by Danny Dee) tease with a fruity keyboard riff before lifting off with a huge bass-driven funk groove. The perfect mix of live playing and beats and a huge DJ record at the time.

12. Fertile Ground: Spiritual War (Kaidi Tatham mix)
Rooted in DC's rich Afro-Caribbean heritage from Gil Scott Heron to Oneness Of Juju, Baltimore's amazing "outer-nationalists" are on a mission to break down cultural barriers with their music. This beauty from 1999 holds a universal message that spiritual struggles help us to grow, all wrapped in a great soulful broken beat treatment from West London's finest, Kaidi Tatham.

CD 2

1. David Borsu: Nocturne
Multi-talented Belgian beat-digger, DJ and producer / musician David Borsu first pricked up ears with a remix for Marc Moulin's 'Into The Dark' on Blue Note in 2002. Since then, he has given us a sparkling debut album ranging from acoustic modal jazz to funky broken beats. You can hear his deep respect for the grooves of yesteryear on this one.

2. Gerardo Frisina: Cubana
An integral part in the set-up of the Schema label and Ishtar family, whose mission is to revive some of the unsung heroes of '60s and '70s Latin, Brazilian and jazz, Frisina brings a deep knowledge to his productions and has become one of the label's biggest international draws. This one from 2003 is a particularly infectious modern descarga with full strength bass, beats and percussion.

3. Belladonna: Ebatule (Ennio Styles Samba Funk remix)
A DJ since the late '70s, Maurizio Belladonna has become a versatile producer since the late '90s, moving effortlessly from jazz beats to tribal house. Here, Ennio Styles takes Silvia Donati's vocals and sprinkles some Melbourne magic to add off-centre beats and some killer samba funk energy.

4. LTJ Experience feat. Joe Bataan: When The Rain Begins To Fall
Producer Luca Trevisi boasts an illustrious history as DJ in two of Italy's best-loved '80s clubs, Kinky in Bologna and Cap Creus in Imola and was one of the first to champion nu jazz and bossa beats within his sets. Here, he teams up with Nu Yorican latin soul legend Joe Bataan who tells us to keep our peckers up when times are tough.

5. Sarah Jane Morris: Nothing Comes From Nothing (Atjazz remix)
In the music game for over 25 years, Sarah Jane Morris' output covers the Communards during the '80s, an infamous controversial version of 'Me & Mrs Jones' and some incredible jazz vocal work. Martin Atjazz (named after an episode of 'Top Cat'!) takes this one on a great mid-tempo sunshine trip.

6. Domu feat. Alexander: Won't Let It Go
Luton's finest bearded beatsmith Dominic "Domu" Stanton started off making drum & bass in the early '90s before settling in as one of broken beat's most versatile exponents under his own name and as part of Rima and Bakura. Here's a classic funk fusion gem from 2003, an exclusive from Arision's 'Be Arisionable' compilation.

7. Big Bang feat. Nathan Haines: Smile In Your Eyes (Mark De Clive Lowe remix)
Simone Serritella steps up again with a fantastic soulful outing from 2005 and opts for the 100% Kiwi connection as Nathan Haines guests and keyboard genius Marc De Clive Lowe re-works the mellow broken jazz licks. Featuring Alexander on vocal duties.

8. Ennio Styles: Zouk
He was rubbish at breaking, graf and MC-ing but, thankfully, had a DJ's ear for beats. Since then, Styles has become Australia's most versatile club and radio DJ of soulful music spanning jazz and brazilian to techno and broken beats and brings this open-minded approach to his productions: check this chugging Afro-latin jam based on an obscure old moog tune by Marius Cultier.

9. Deeperwiderhigher: Beauty (Eddy & Yannah remix)
A cracking live outfit, this Sheffield 8-piece collective describe their sound as "ruggedlysmoothurbanjazzfunkfusion", in the same territory as The Rebirth or Fertile Ground. Here, their mid-tempo 'Beauty' is transformed by Croatian remix duo Eddy & Yannah into an uplifting latin stormer with lead singer Genifa's soaring, spiritual vocals on fire out front.

10. Dwayne Morgan: Everything (Yam Who re-edit)
Hailing from Toronto, Morgan gained a solid reputation on the Canadian spoken word circuit before turning to music. This one originates from a live album, 'The Evolution' released in 2000: stand-out track 'Everything' was promptly picked up by UK label Counterpoint and handed to master groove merchant, Yam Who? (Yam was evidently named after an old Jerky Boys sketch called 'Nam Who?', we hear).

11. Consequences: The Cat (Nature's Plan re-work)
A sweet soulful shuffler from the Arision label stable and a one-off collab from the man behind Big Bang, Simone Serritella and top US nu jazz DJ, producer and journalist, Tyler Askew. Featuring 4 Hero's Marc Mac on remix duties, under his mysterious Brazilian / Afro remix alter ego, Nature's Plan.

12. OHM Guru: Heart & Soul (Jimpster remix)
An unheralded veteran of the Italian scene and member of production crew Pastaboys producing open-minded jazzy drum & bass, house and song-based goodness since the mid-'90s, Ricky Rinaldi featured this great Jimpster jazz-boogie drifter on the Irma label's arty 'Irma On Canvas' project back in 2003.
