BABY BLUE ACTION BRONSON 320KJBP TV

A big band comprising original and contemporary KPM library musicians and writers, including Alan Hawkshaw, Keith Mansfield and James Clarke, perform the libraryвЂ™s best-loved TV themes and cult dancefloor classics for the first time anywhere since the original sessions. This new edition features an exclusive bonus disc, which makes available for the first time the debut gig by the KPM All-Stars, bringing together many of KPMвЂ™s greatest composers for a unique night at LondonвЂ™s Jazz Cafe on 27th April 2000. Elsewhere, the tracklist is peppered with oddities like Klaus WeissвЂ™ incidental downtempo mood вЂњMorning 1 / Morning 2вЂќ and NascimbeneвЂ™s вЂњWitchdoctor,вЂќ a short tribal field recording.

Some have become classics in their own right: Alan ParkerвЂ™s вЂќThatвЂ™s What Friends Are ForвЂќ featuring Blue MinkвЂ™s Madeline Bell on vocals, Alan HawkshawвЂ™s stomping hammond groove вЂњSenior ThumpвЂќ (a precursor to his work as The Mohawks), and Keith MansfieldвЂ™s вЂњCrash Course,вЂќ a driving jazz anthem. This first installment mines the KPM reels for some of the most in-demand, funkiest and quirkiest pieces from the library. Volumes on Chappell music and Bosworth would follow in 20.

Compiled by ex-Jazz Cafe booker and DJ Adrian Gibson and StrutвЂ™s Quinton ScottвЂљ Music For Dancefloors was originally created as a series of albums in the early 2000s dedicated to mining the archives of the UKвЂ™s foremost music libraries. A KPM piece (Kieth MansfieldвЂ™s вЂњFunky FanfareвЂќ) even graces the opening of Quentin TarantinoвЂ™s film Kill Bill. In recent years, DJs and collectors have coveted volumes of the anonymous green label KPM LPs as a source for hard-to-find grooves and breaks, and KPM has become a well-mined source for hip-hop producers and music connoisseurs вЂ“ Jay-Z, DOOM, Madlib and Guilty Simpson, Dangermouse and Action Bronson are among the many who have plundered KPM grooves. The quality has justifiably stood the test of time. During its heyday, many pieces recorded through KPM became perennial UK TV themes вЂ“ long-running programs like вЂњGrandstand,вЂќ вЂњMastermindвЂќ and вЂњITV News At Ten.вЂќ Tellingly, the KPM boss during this period, Robin Phillips, made a point of setting the bar high, bringing in the UKвЂ™s most talented young composers, arrangers and session players to the studios to ensure the highest quality music. Original promotional-only vinyl releases from KPM and other libraries of the 1960s and 70s (generally from print run of only 1,000 copies each) can now exchange hands for a small fortune. The music wasnвЂ™t intended to be enjoyed in a home listening context, and in fact wasnвЂ™t available for commercial release at all, but the sheer quality of the playing and compositions resulted in the music finding an enthusiastic audience.

The phenomenon of the music library is unique, involving brilliant but anonymous composers and musicians creating short pieces of music to be made available for background use in film, television, and radio. Music For Dancefloors is a varied journey through the archives of the fabled and historic KPM Music Library.

This April, Strut reissues one of the early releases from its catalogue in a brand new Deluxe Edition.
