NIGHT TIME SHADOWS AND SINGLES

"In the 1980s, several bands attempted to create a hybrid of jazz, rock and pop. Bands like Swing Out Sister, Sade and Everything But The Girl all took this formula to different levels of success. Though it may seem a bit naive now--after all, pop music's always contained trace elements of jazz and rock--these bands often had good intentions, often falling and failing when money (or lack thereof) became an issue, or when label interference pushed such bands into more commercially-minded product. Still, when it comes down to it, the music was what mattered most, regardless of what happened on the business".
