NORMAN JAY PRESENTS GOOD TIMES LONDON.  Norman Jay is arguably one of the finest and most respected deejays in the world, an experienced radio and television broadcaster, MBE holder and compiler of the celebrated ‘Good Times’ compilation series. He's back with the latest installment - Good Times London
The latest in the series focuses on tracks that have a “London sound” whether from Norman's rare groove origins, the 80s heydays of boogie and house, or his favourite contemporary artists. It’s not lightly that Norman Jay is referred to as “The Godfather”; he’s been instrumental in every dance music movement in the UK over the past 30 years. From being a guiding force in bringing disco, house and hip hop to the UK, setting up Kiss FM and helping launch the careers of many of London’s top DJs including Giles Peterson (with who he ran record label Talkin Loud), Judge Jules, Trevor Nelson and Soul II Soul's Jazzie B, Norman’s influence reaches every facet of modern club culture. However, it’s the ‘Good Times’ brand that he’s become most synonyms with. Emerging to become the Notting Hill Carnival’s un-official ambassador, Norman Jay’s party has become the dominant attraction at the annual event. Not just constricted to Carnival, ‘Good Times’ has a worldwide appeal with Norman’s regular DJ tours popular in countries such as Australia, USA, China, Japan, SE Asia, South Africa, South America, Russia and the Middle East. Good Times London features 24 killer tracks across 2 cds from artists as varied as Chubb Rock to the great Ella Fitzgerald, from genres such as Reggae, Modern Jazz, House, Drum N Bass, Soul, Funk, Disco and R n B selected and sequenced by the one and only Norman Jay in true Good Times style. Includes very rare and sought tracks from Ray Charles, Lou Rawls The Dramatics & Maynard Ferguson. Posted: Friday, 25 July 2008 |
