Hello JAMIROQUAI Club Members,
Here's the latest:
1# At the end of 2006 Japanese car navigation and audio manufacturer
Clarion announced that Jamiroquai would be the face of much of their
promotion. Well, it looks like this partnership is going strong into
2008.
A news item posted at the end of 2007 at the Clarion site
mentions Jamiroquai's involvement and announces the launch of a number
of new products at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) - currently
being held in Las Vegas.
In the 2008 Clarion audio/navigation catalogue that is available
at the CES show Jay is featured on the front cover (LINK:

in a number of pages (LINK:

throughout the catalogue.

2# Back in 1995 Jamiroquai and Guru (one half of the hip-hop act
Gang Starr) collaborated on a track called "Lost Souls" - which was
featured on one of Guru's "Jazzmatazz" compilation albums.
EMI/Virgin have just announced a new album entitled "The Best of
Guru's Jazzmatazz" and the Jamiroquai/Guru track has been selected for
this compilation.
"Guru's vision for Jazzmatazz respects and reveals similarities
and complementary elements between hip-hop and jazz. Both genres'
focus on rhythm and improvisation, coupled with Guru's balanced and
fluid approach to his musical blends, have eased the way for artists
to come together and participate in an entirely new musical experience
within the creative realm of Jazzmatazz."
More information and the tracklist for "The best Of Guru's
Jazzmatazz" album is given in the official press release (LINK:
