Label Love 5: Jazzy bizznizz

Via Soulbounce: " Jazz is often forgotten in discussions about popular music. Once the sound of young America, it has now become the music of choice for those with a more sophisticated (read: older) musical palate. But that doesn't mean that jazz can't be young, fresh and even new once again.

The fifth (yes, fifth!) installment of the popular Label Love series sets out to prove just that. ...  the 15-track compilation proves to be a veritable smorgasbord for jazz aficionados. Running the gamut from traditional and vocal to modern and experimental, the compilation also brings along some familiar faces along with for the ride: LaBelle's Nona Hendryx turns up on Kahil El'Zabar's Ethnics' track "It's Time" and the ever progressive Nostalgia 77 turns up with "The Taxidermist." Plus Greg Foat, Dwight Trible, Matthew Halsall and more. Check it...
