as used by David Bowie on Ziggy Stardust, nazz means the hippest, most magnetic of beings. He clearly lifted this term (and many other phrases) from the 50's--60's beat poetry of Richard "Lord" Buckley whose poem The Nazz is a jive iteration about Jesus of Nazareth.
Buckley says in his poem, "Now, The Nazz was the kind of a cat that come on so cool
and so grooovey and so with-it..."
and so grooovey and so with-it..."

A term which shot to stardom due to David Bowie's hit track Ziggy Stardust. If something is 'the nazz', it is quite favourable.
