Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Pretty Good.......2007-02-15

I like this CD. It has a few hot tracks on it and a few not so hot tracks. This is not as good as Volume 1. Whose second album has ever matched their first? Still, I think you should buy it. If you like jazz and R&B and some hip hop, but can't sit still and listen to the dribble on the local radio stations, this is a very nice break from all that.

5 out of 5 stars the best.......2007-01-09

My purchase was right on time. I enjoy doing business with amazon.

5 out of 5 stars Oustanding!!!!.......2004-07-03

This is by far one of the best Jazz/Hip-Hop cd's I have ever owned...its perferct when you can't find the right music to please everyone. Also great at bar-b-cues!!

5 out of 5 stars excellent violin perfomance.......2004-01-18

All I can say is that Karen Briggs does for this CD is what the people do for New York. An outstanding piece of work.

4 out of 5 stars Jazz + Hip/Hip = New Wave BeBop.......2003-09-03

OK, I prefer the Jazz of Dizzy, Miles, and Wynton, but I am not a snob to the smooth jazz circuit and players such as Sanborn, Albright, Boney James,etc. One day in passing I heard "Hot in Herre" on a radio station. I was hooked. I spent the next 2 months googling the Internet and Kazaa to find it because in the radio station's wisdom they didn't say who arranged that version of the song. I thought the arrangement was very original and fantastic. After a few months I finally found Hidden Beach Recording Vol I and II. I have heard "Hot in Herre" and "Gangsta's Paradise"on the radio and was completely captivated. I don't know if it's Karen Briggs(Who is out of this world) or just the whole Jazz/hip hop fusion which I term as New Age BeBop. I would have liked some more original drumbeats as a percussion foundation instead of those canned beats, but outside of that, there is enough original instrumental layers to mask the canned drumbeats, beside, you get the same from true Hip Hop anyway. I think the volumes are great and the talent represented is also excellent. The feeling I get when listening to these tracks is the same as I get when I am listening to BeBop from Dizzy, Miles, and Bird.... Just pure octane. If you listen to "Forget about Dre" from Vol, "Hot in Herre" from Vol II, or "Gangster's Paradise" from Vol II and are not at least tapping your fingers or bobbing your head, I question if there is a pulse attached to those body parts. I would love to witness this live just to be present and witness the musical improvisation that happens in playing these songs. I would recommend both CDs to those with backgrounds in old school jazz, smooth jazz, and to anyone who has an open mind about music. I think this is the bridge between Hip Hop and Jazz. There is room for improvement, but I think it's a work in process. Keep up the good work Hidden Beach...
