Description
Inspired by the great Motown songbook, MOTORCITY ROOTS is the eagerly anticipated new album from Jazz Jamaica. Fifteen tracks of classic songs by Motown hit songwriters – including Holland, Dozier & Holland, Smokey Robinson and Barrett Strong – arranged Jazz Jamaica-style by members of the band. Led by bassist and Dune Records founder Gary Crosby, Jazz Jamaica’s infectious blend of jazz, reggae and ska has earned the band critical acclaim and a devoted fan base over the last decade and a half. Alongside jazz luminaries such as Soweto Kinch and Denys Baptiste, and soul/R&B diva Juliet Roberts, the band’s new 12-piece line up features some of the rising stars of the scene, including Abram Wilson and Zara McFarlane. Also featured here are special guests Sir Bill Morris (former leader of the Transport & General Workers Union), who narrates Marvin Gaye’s "What’s Going On", and nu-soul pioneer Omar, who lends his inimitable vocals to "Just My Imagination". The release of MOTORCITY ROOTS will be supported by a Jazz Jamaica UK tour from September-November plus further extensive touring in 2006. Tracks: I Want You Back (feat. Abram Wilson) / Dancing In The Street (feat. Juliet Roberts, Jason Yarde, Abram Wilson, Denys Baptiste, Harry Brown) / Signed Sealed Delivered (feat. Mary Pearce ) / You Keep Me Hanging On (feat. Mary Pearce) / Easy (feat. Abram Wilson) / Just My Imagination (feat. Omar) / Tears Of A Clown (feat. Juliet Roberts) / I Was Made To Love Her (feat. Wesley Lucas, Denys Baptiste) / What’s Going On?
