DK Jamz is an official soundtrack for Donkey Kong Country, released in 1995. It has been highly praised for its diverse and good quality music. DK Jamz was mainly composed by David Wise, with the occasional assistance of Robin Beanland and Eveline Fischer. The CD includes the arranged version of DK Island Swing from the previous Japanese soundtrack CD Super Donkey Kong Game Music CD Jungle Fantasy, renamed "Jungle Groove" and without mention of the arrangement's composer. David Wise has stated that he wanted the music produced by the Super NES SPC700 chip for the game to sound similar to the Korg Wavestation synthesizer.[1]
DK Jamz was later remade by OverClocked ReMix, under the name "Kong in Concert", as a tribute to its original composers.
