Guru's Jazzmatazz @ The Voodoo Rooms, 6 Nov

Very few people today have the occasion to wear spats, those satin or leather white sleeves worn over shoes by 1920s industrialists and smooth talking gangsters. Good news then, that Gang Starr legend Guru's Jazzmatazz is bringing a full band to Auld Reekie for a night (or two) of gleaming jazz fused hip-hop. So successful is Guru's brand of beats that he's just released volume 4 in the Jazzmatazz series, titled Back to the Future. If you haven't heard the first three, you can expect soul singers backed by synth beats, Brooklyn rhymes thrown over Coltrane riffs and production smooth as velvet. Guru's used to playing lavish events in South Beach, Florida so you should expect a classy night of old fashioned flair. If you can dress well and dance better, put an egg in your shoe and beat it to the Voodoo Rooms. [Hamza K]
