A Little Bit Of Jazz by The Nick Straker Band is a bonafide Loft classic played by David Mancuso at his New York Loft parties which began in the 1970s. Loft parties involved no entry fee, no alcohol, no mirrors, a high end sound system, great music and lots of dancing. They were private parties which helped to lay down the blueprint for nightclub culture, disco and house music. These parties were attended by the likes of Frankie Knuckles, Larry Levan and Tony Humphries and played a massive role in influencing the shape of dance music. The Nick Straker Band were an English group who mixed disco and jazz influences to create music full of live percussion, synths, funky basslines, repetitive sections and a strong 4/4 beat which shows nicely how disco was evolving into house. They released music in the late 1970s and early 1980s. TheNick Straker Band - A Little Bit Of Jazz
