Jazzman Records is a UK label that was established in 1998 by Gerald Short, a dealer in rare funk and jazz LPs and 45s. With a mission to re-release the best and most obscure tracks from the late '60s and early '70s, Jazzman Records aims to bring back the long-forgotten sound that didn't receive recognition during that time period.
Since its inception, Jazzman Records has been dedicated to unearthing hidden gems of jazz and funk music, showcasing both well-known artists as well as more obscure talents. The label's releases span across various formats including vinyl records, CDs, and digital downloads.
With their extensive catalog of *artists* and *performers*, Jazzman Records continues to be at the forefront of preserving and promoting this unique genre of music. Whether you're a seasoned collector or new to the world of jazz and funk, Jazzman Records offers an unparalleled selection for all enthusiasts.

Following her successful debut album After Dark, new ideas have led Whiting to create Lost in Abstraction. More than the expected ethereal washes of sound, the album playfully embraces her many influences into a soundscape of modernity. With rhythmical energies and the indulgent richness of an instrument so often associated with Ashby and Coltrane, the album resonates, leaving the listener lost in abstraction.

"This album explores so many elements of life. From my influences in music, to my own personal struggles. After 2 years of a pandemic, many of us feel lost and confused with our lines blurred. Life is now different. By removing our own applied restrictions of preconceptions and habits, which often choke us, we feel lost. But it is only at this point that we find ourselves."
