Various - A Night At The Jazz Rooms CD

21 years after starting what is the worlds longest running consecutive club session – the Brighton Jazz Rooms - comes this celebratory compilation album presented by it’s founder Russ Dewbury, on Mr Bongo Records.

Musically, the Jazz rooms did not follow any fad or fashion rather creating its own one and this has been the key to its success and is reflected in this album track selection. If its good, it gets played at the Jazz Rooms.Over the years, just about everybody in the scene has manned the decks. Luminaries include Gilles Peterson, Baz Fe Jazz, Paul Murphy and guests from all over the world such as Rainer Truby, Kyoto Jazz Massif, Espen Horne and many more. Legendary US keyboardist Weldon Irvine described it as "...an international brotherhood.”

‘a legendary affair that all should attend’ (Straight No Chaser Magazine).

Originally signed to BGP Records as A+R chief Dewbury was instrumental in the rediscovery of artists including Jean Jacques Perrey and Terry Callier who he subsequently managed . His own albums include the compilations "Africa Funk" and "Club Africa" on Strut Records and the "Freedom Time" and "Jazz Bizniz" on Counterpoint Records.His last compilation Pulp Fusion/Africa Funk released on Harmless Records in January 07 has achieved significant sales around the globe. The Mitchell and Dewbury album also on Mr Bongo Records (MRBCD047) received much critical acclaim and airplay all over the world in 2007.
