The Emulator II is a glorious slice of musical history, and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed the process of turning it into an archival Kontakt instrument in the Emulator II Universe of Sounds libraries. But even before we embarked on that mammoth sampling session, a thought was stirring at the back of our minds. Wouldn’t it be cool if the Emulator hadn’t just been a sampler? Wouldn’t it be cool if it had been more of a synth as well?

"The Wag is the dog's bow-wow. Back in the 80's when I toured the UK I was introduced to the Wag and it became my fave hang. The joint had style and substance." - David Bowie "I brought my new wife Patty to London to see the sights. Number one was The Houses of Parliament, number two was Westminster Cathedral and number three was the Wag Club." - Keith Richards "I love The Wag. Why aren't there more clubs like it?

Allmusic:

…Take a gander at the track list: from Basie doing the theme from M-Squad and Lalo Schifrin's original Dirty Harry theme to the James Taylor Quartet's acid jazz reading of the Starsky and Hutch theme, the strange, spacy reading of Isaac Hayes' "Theme from Shaft" by the Alfred Hauser Orchestra, and Sammy Davis, Jr. wailing on "Keep Your Eye on the Sparrow" for the Baretta TV show, this set is all killer, no filler and highly recommended. For the most part, these are indeed jazz versions of these tunes, but there are no extended improvisations or academic strategies employed to cool them off. If anything, the joy most of these performers take in interpreting this material loosens them up considerably.

Moe Koffman,was a Canadian jazz musician and composer. He played the flute, soprano, alto and tenor saxophone and clarinet.I was actually at Sam The Record Man's shop in Toronto (on holiday) when this CD was being launched. In fact I spent 3 whole days in there.( The shop sadly closed in 2007 ) - I'm really glad I picked it up.
