High Havoc

Corduroy’s High Havoc captures the Acid Jazz label’s commitment to grooving jazz-funk hybrids with muscular horn arrangements and syncopated rhythms that refuse to sit still. Released on CD, the record channels the UK acid jazz boom’s appetite for brass-heavy arrangements and funkified chord progressions, proving that the genre’s best moments arrived when jazz musicians embraced electronic production and hip-hop’s rhythmic swagger. A modest but dedicated listener base has kept this deep cut in rotation among jazz-funk collectors.
