A sly and soulful sleight of hand, Covers is Jazz Room Records’ celebration of reinterpretation — a suite of reimagined classics that turns familiarity inside out and finds the unknown within the well-known. Curated with the label’s signature digger’s precision, this compilation traverses smoky club corners, tropical dancefloors, and late-night studios where jazz musicians bent pop, soul, and funk standards into kaleidoscopic new shapes.

Every track hums with reinvention: grooves stretched, harmonies fractured, melodies reborn through modal flair, Latin syncopation, and deep funk pulse. It’s a portrait of musicians listening as much as playing — translating chart hits into improvisational dialogue, reclaiming the mainstream as a space for underground expression.

Covers isn’t about mimicry; it’s about transformation. These are songs that have lived other lives — now rebirthed with swagger, curiosity, and the restless creative energy that defines Jazz Room’s ethos. It’s jazz not as preservation, but as perpetual motion — familiar faces seen through the warm distortion of a spinning record.
