'Shaolin Jazz' es un ejercicio de mezcla de fragmentos de la música de los miembros del ya legendario combo de hip hop Wu Tang Clan sobre un colchón sonoro de instrumentaciones provenientes de grabaciones de maestros del Jazz, una mezcla realizada por el Dj 2-Tone que resulta interesante a pesar de la pérdida de la fuerza de la base de sonidos del Wu Tang Clan que era su verdadera esencia. Un trabajo ideado por Gerald Watson (Art vs. Commerce) y que viene a complementar, por ejemplo, los varios volúmenes de la colección Shaolin Soul (que reunía los clásicos del Soul que servían para los samples del Clan) o precedentes de fusión del hip hop y el Jazz como los distintos volúmenes de Jazzmatazz del difunto Guru de los Gang Starr o aquella edición de la serie contra el S.I.D.A. Red Hot titulada 'Stolen Moments' además de precedentes como los Digable Planets y el 'Doo-Bop' de Miles Davis por citar algunos.
También disponible del mismo autor una grabación de mezclas homenaje a Gill Scott Heron.
