Love working with Chaz as each record or project is diverse and different from the next….reflected in the music too!
Chaz’s latest solo album ‘Flow’ is available to download now.
“Chaz Jankel’s new album Flow with thirteen soulful, funky jazz tinged tunes in the style of which many associate with Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Chaz also has had a musical journey running alongside The Blockheads. This was kickstarted in 1981 when he wrote and recorded the original Ai No Corrida (which Quincy Jones covered). This featured on his first of 4 albums, all tracks now available online. Chaz also had a couple of huge club hits with Glad to know you(co-written with Ian Dury) and the original genre shaping electrofunk banger 3,000000 synths. “
On this new album his own musical skills are augmented at times by fellow Blockhead saxophonist Dave Lewis and on trumpet Bryan Corbett. Also on this album he features 2 other lead singers, Melody Palmer and Andy Caine. Both singers extremely soulful. Chaz is also accompanied by Cherry Cameron on 3 songs. Further, Bodies Without A Soul, the last song he wrote for this album. Only after completing this song could Chaz imagine performing this material live. He rides again, in a very funky pair of New Boots (no panties).
