PAUL MURPHY (Jazz Room Records)
Playing an explosive mix of Jazz, Latin, Soul and contemporary dance music to discerning crowds across the planet, Paul Murphy has been deejaying since the late 70s. His musical journey has wound its way through residencies at celebrated London clubs The Wag, The Electric Ballroom (where he founded the now famous Jazz Room), The 100 Club and Hoxton Square s Blue Note, via performances alongside the likes of Tito Puente & Celia Cruz, Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, Jimmy McGriff, Richie Cole, Tania Maria, The Heath Brothers & Lonnie Smith. Somehow, amidst all of this, Paul also found the time to run a successful and highly influential record shop and manage Paladin Records (1984 - 1986), overseeing the release of the politically inspired Venceremos by London based Jazz-Dance collective Working Week as well as releasing albums by top British Jazzers Tommy Chase and Harry Beckett. He has several compilations under his belt including Jazz Club Volumes 1 & 2, Return to the Jazz Club on Ace Records and Jazz Room Volumes 1 and 2 on BBE Records. Paul’s own label, Jazz Room Records, specializes in re-issues and it is his expertise in finding the rare and the obscure and matching with the new and the fresh that inspired the likes of Gilles Peterson who has stated, Paul Murphy found almost every jazz dance classic. He is the Original Messenger of Jazz. He opened the door to an alternative way of being a Dj.
