The Jazz Room: Compiled By Paul Murphy

Description

Lauded by none other than Gilles Peterson as ‘the original messenger of jazz who found almost every dancefloor classic’, Paul began DJing in 1970s London. His passion and unique playing style placed him at the epicentre of an emerging jazz-dance scene in the city, popping off in spots like The Horseshoe (aka Jaffas), The Wag, The 100 Club, The Blue Note and The Electric Ballroom, where he founded the now famous ‘Jazz Room’, after which this album is named.
