The Mod Jazz series has inspired many imitators, but the original is still the best, as this latest volume proves. Expertly compiled, it captures the top crossover points between jazz, latin and R&B. If we say so ourselves this may be the best yet. As always we have mixed the better known, the classic and the obscure. We have international superstars such as Sammy Davis Jr, with his take on 'I Know A Place' - a club smash if ever we've heard one - at the height of mohair-suited Rat Pack cool. Jimmy Witherspoon offers up something similar with 'Hey Mrs Jones', while Nina Simone rounds up our star quotient with her answer to Ray Charles, 'Come On Back, Jack'.
