What is Jazz? Jazz fans and critics alike have struggled to define this constantly-evolving musical form. ANDY WILLIAMS, veteran DJ and compiler of the new Variations in Time: A Jazz Perspective compilation on Public Transit Recordings, has a few words for the music: Colorful. Passionate. Soulful. Electrifying. Witty. Raw. Heavy. Off-kilter. Deep. Whether hip hop, spoken word, soul, free or funky, the diverse artists on this PTR compilation share common ground in the Nile of jazz. Andy's been embracing and linking music for more than 30 years through experiences in Jamaica, England, West Africa, Montréal and Toronto, and he curates PTR's first deep jazz compilation for those who know—and need to know.
