Jazz Jazz Jazz is described by Habibi Funk founder Jannis Stuertz as ranging from “instrumental tracks awaking memories of 1970s crime thriller soundtracks to more Sudanese-rooted tracks, a lot of them modernised versions of traditional tribal rhythms and even an excursion into Soukouss.”

The album marks Habibi Funk’s 9th release, and first album reissue following a series of compilations including music by Kamal Keila and Al Massrieen.

Jazz, Jazz, Jazz includes full liner notes by Stuertz, as well as a band history and interview with the group.
