Jazzuary: The Influence

It’s Jazzuary on IN THE POCKET, exploring how jazz lives on through hip-hop, house, broken beat, and groove-driven music that isn’t technically jazz.

This week’s featured artist is Guru, whose work with Gang Starr and the Jazzmatazz series helped bridge the divide between jazz and hip-hop in the early ’90s.

The show also digs into tracks from Stolen Moments: Red, Hot and Cool, a landmark compilation that brought jazz cats and hip-hop heads into the same conversation.
