Guru’s Jazzmatazz
THU 02 DEC 1993
Guru’s Jazzmatazz
Featuring Donald Byrd + Courtney Pine
Guru, the one-time Gang Starr wordsmith, brings his nu-jazz Jazzmatazz project to The Voodoo Rooms once more, returning after two packed back to back nights in March.
Guru’s laid-back, syrupy delivery, combined with his intelligent, introspective rhymes have maintained his prominence as one of hip-hop’s top lyricists. Solar has created the soundscape for the new and improved Guru and challenged him to push himself to new heights of his lyrical abilities.
Note (Ewan): Renegade promoted shows in Scotland with Gang Starr (at The Garage in Glasgow) on 28th September, 1994, and Guru’s Jazzmatazz feat. Donald Byrd and Courtney Pine at The Assembly Rooms, Edinburgh on 2nd December, 1993, as well as three memorable nights at The Voodoo Rooms in 2008. It was with great sadness that we learned that the genre-blending hip-hop innovator and stellar wordsmith Guru passed away, far too soon, in April 2010.
