Introduction

Peace yo, and welcome to Jazzmatazz
An experimental fusion of hip-hop and live jazz
I'm your host the Guru, that stands for gifted, unlimited, rhymes, universal
Now I've always thought of doing something like this
But I didn't want to do it unless it was going to be done right, know what I'm saying?
'Cause hip-hop, rap music, it's real
It's musical, cultural expression based on reality
And at the same time, jazz is real and based on reality
So I want to let you know that it was indeed a blessing and of course
A pleasure to work on such a project with so many amazing people
For instance I got Donald Byrd, Roy Ayers, Lonnie Liston Smith
Branford Marsalis, Ronny Jordan, N'Dea Davenport, Courtney Pine
And MC Solaar all in the house
Plus I got Gary Barnacle, Carleen Anderson, D. C. Lee, Simon Law
And Zachary Breaux doing much work, so without further delay
I say to you, listen and enjoy, and check it out
