Catering for the veteran, the dance-floor mover, the radio jock and the young-gun just getting into jazz, If Music's Jean-Claude returns for a second spellbinding edition of 'A Journey Into Deep Jazz'. Going even deeper than volume 1, this triple vinyl pack is one to truly lose yourself in, with several of the tracks running over 12 minutes in length – Sparrow's 'Latin Black Funk' even over 20 minutes! The obscure gems contained on this compilation have either flown under the radar or remained out of print for many years, so there are bound to be fresh treats here for even the most obsessive collector. Dense without being over-challenging, raw yet enchanting, 'Deep Jazz Volume 2' is a collection of soul-stirring rarities to nourish the spirit.
