The JAZZ JUICE sound originated as a bi-product from the successful collaboration between DJ Graham B and producer/musician Alain Eskinasi and their Edison Award winning work on the Electro Coco album "Coco do Mundo". The idea with JAZZ JUICE was to create a unique DJ set that was perfectly suited for musicians to play along side. The name of the act plus a major source of inspiration was a famous eight volume series of dance albums compiled by Gilles Peterson during the mid 80's. These albums featured a range of styles from Latin Bugaloo, Bossa Nova and Soul Jazz and are recreated in the JAZZ JUICE sound mixed in with contemporary beats and styles that together have been described as "futuristic dance-floor jazz".BIO's OF THE PRODUCTION DUO.
