“I still find it hard to believe I am getting paid fordoing what I love most in the world”. Acker Bilk
Guru has always been a classic innovator.He was the first artist to actually blendHip Hop with Live Jazz beginning in 1993with his groundbreaking Jazzmatazz
series. These four groundbreaking volumes saw Guru collaborate with jazzand hip-hop greats such as Donald Byrd, Herbie Hancock, Roy Ayers, DavidSanborn, Ramsey Lewis, Bob James, Ronny Jordan and Courtney Pine.Jazzmatazz live, produced and arranged by Guru's longtime collaboratorSolaar, featuring Guru and Solaar on vocals and the 7 Grand Players hasreceived rave reviews at venues and festivals around the globe and is acaptivating musical journey through all of Guru's classics old and new. This is the purest hip-hop and hip-hop/jazz on the planet, a critically-acclaimed live show that leaves itsaudience both euphoric and inspired.
