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 \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverything But the Girl - Night and Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobert Wyatt - Shipbuilding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScritti Politti - Rock-A-Boy Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe French Impressionists - Pick Up the Rhythm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoe Jackson - Steppin' Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Rondo a la Turk - the Method\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeekend - Weekend Stroll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaul Haig - the Song Is You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Higsons - Run Me Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFurniture - Why Are We in Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJah Wobble - Sunshine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalcolm McLaren - Merengue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Republic - My Spies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoboxers - Why Don't You Do Right?
