The rediscovery of British jazz of the 60s & 70s is a phenomenon of our days. Some time ago this music seemed forgotten, today it is cult and artists like Shabaka Hutchings and Kamasi Washington call it a formative influence on their own music.

British Jazz is cool again! Now, under the title British Jazz Explosion, Universal Music is diving deep into its jazz archives and reissuing the most sought-after, hip and collector-market priceless gems from iconic labels Decca, Deram, Argo, EMI Columbia / Lansdowne Series, Fontana, Mercury and Philips. Decca will reissue the original albums on vinyl, remastered from the original tapes by Gearbox, world-renowned analogue mastering specialists, and each LP will be presented with reproductions of the original packaging and artwork, including tip-on / flip-back sleeves and laminated covers.
