Celebrating an era when jazz inspired many pop acts, from bossa beats to mainstream covers of the classics; from Latin-fuelled club favourites to torch ballads and acid jazz grooves. In 1982 a new jazz era was dawning and Soho, a hotbed since the 50s, was where the renaissance began. Blue Rondo A La Turk, who had the first 'New Jazz' hit, were led by Chris Sullivan who opened The Wag Club in Wardour Street in April 1982, a vital catalyst for the 'New Jazz' scene. Vic Godard, singer with Subway Sect, recast as a crooner, hosted his Club Left jazz-swing nights at the Wag (as well as at London's jazz capital Ronnie Scott's). Chief among the new acts were Weekend who morphed into Working Week, whose 1984 debut single 'Venceremos' felt like a clarion call. Everything But The Girl had embraced jazz influences on their debut single, a cover of Cole Porter's 'Night And Day'. Meanwhile, Mark Reilly left Blue Rondo to form Matt Bianco, a more overtly pop\/jazz creation. Julien Temple's Absolute Beginners film (including Eighth Wonder and The Style Council on it's soundtrack) based on Colin MacInnes' 1959 novel took jazz to a mainstream audience. When the film was released in 1986, jazz in it's broadest sense was everywhere in British pop, from covers of jazz standards (Alison Moyet, Bronski Beat) to jazz pop hits from Swing Out Sister and The Blow Monkeys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc 1\u003cbr\u003e1 Everything But the Girl - Night and Day\u003cbr\u003e2 Robert Wyatt - Shipbuilding\u003cbr\u003e3 Scritti Politti - Rock-A-Boy Blue\u003cbr\u003e4 The French Impressionists - Pick Up the Rhythm\u003cbr\u003e5 Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out\u003cbr\u003e6 Blue Rondo a la Turk - the Method\u003cbr\u003e7 Weekend - Weekend Stroll\u003cbr\u003e8 Paul Haig - the Song Is You\u003cbr\u003e9 The Higsons - Run Me Down\u003cbr\u003e10 Furniture - Why Are We in Love\u003cbr\u003e11 Jah Wobble - Sunshine\u003cbr\u003e12 Malcolm McLaren - Merengue\u003cbr\u003e13 The Republic - My Spies\u003cbr\u003e14 Joboxers - Why Don't You Do Right?
