Blue Rondo A La Turk, who had the first ‘New Jazz’ hit, were led by Chris Sullivan who opened The Wag Club in Wardour Street in April 1982, a vital catalyst for the ‘New Jazz’ scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVic Godard, singer with Subway Sect, recast as a crooner, hosted his Club Left jazz-swing nights at the Wag (as well as at London’s jazz capital Ronnie Scott’s). Chief among the new acts were Weekend who morphed into Working Week, whose 1984 debut single ‘Venceremos’ felt like a clarion call. Everything But The Girl had embraced jazz influences on their debut single, a cover of Cole Porter’s ‘Night And Day’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, Mark Reilly left Blue Rondo to form Matt Bianco, a more overtly pop\/jazz creation. Julien Temple’s Absolute Beginners film (including Eighth Wonder and The Style Council on its soundtrack) based on Colin MacInnes’ 1959 novel took jazz to a mainstream audience. When the film was released in 1986, jazz in its broadest sense was everywhere in British pop, from covers of jazz standards (Alison Moyet, Bronski Beat) to jazz pop hits from Swing Out Sister and The Blow Monkeys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISC ONE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1.  Everything But The Girl - Night And Day\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2.  Robert Wyatt - Shipbuilding\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3.  Scritti Politti - Rock-A-Boy Blue\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4.  The French Impressionists - Pick Up The Rhythm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5.  Joe Jackson - Steppin’ Out\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6.  Blue Rondo A La Turk - The Method\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7.  Weekend - Weekend Stroll\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8.  Paul Haig - The Song Is You\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9.  The Higsons - Run Me Down\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10.  Furniture - Why Are We In Love\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e11.  Jah Wobble - Sunshine\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e12.  Malcolm McLaren - Merengue\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e13.  The Republic - My Spies\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e14.  JoBoxers - Why Don’t You Do Right?
