Customer Reviews:

Looking for a different taste of jazz, hip hop and soul........2006-02-01

It's refreshing to hear a genre in the music industry that has'nt been taited by the formula that if a certain sound sells jam it down the publics hears regardless of substance. The best of this Acid Jazz delivers especially for those who can appreciate jazz instrumentation,a solid hip hop back beat,a latin soul groove, funky club mixes and mellow R&B vocals all together in one style of music. This music brings everything to the table and can be enjoyed in any setting, I purchased six CDs so far in this series including the Verve Remixes and I will tell you that after hearing these tracks smooth jazz sounds like the high school band.

Seems kinda weak to me...........2004-01-13

I just bought this cd a couple of weeks ago, and while some tracks stand out as being cool, a lot of them on here are either really corny or straight unlistenable. I was hoping for a lot more "fusion" type tracks, a la hip hop or house or something. But I was disappointed. Maybe a lot of the tracks were before that whole trend. Perhaps this is just not quite my thing, but this isn't really a whole lot like the other stuff I listen to, i.e. st germain, jazzanova, mr. scruff, etc. which I had considered to be "acid jazz." Maybe I'm wrong.

What a Compilation!.......2002-01-18

i love it, what else is there to say? The best is Mitch Moses' song Lonely Blues but there are so many great songs on this two CD set. i think there is only one song i don't care for and it isn't like i hate or anything. i highly recommend this CD as a good intro to Acid Jazz (which there ain't enough of in my opinion!)

An Excellent Overview.......2001-12-17

I am at best a dilitant when it comes to acid jazz, but this is an excellent collection for someone who is interested in the genre. The mix of songs have a bit of flavor from almost every other music style, and yet taken as a whole, is a very cohesive ensemble. You definitely get an idea of the range of possibilities as well as some guideposts for seeking out specific artists or sub-styles.

Funkisized.......2001-10-30

This was my first taste of acid jazz and it left me wanting for more . I'm more used to the Rippingtons and Spyo Gyra so this extensive 2 CD survey gave me a good "wiff" of the range of styling and composition . The riddims are great for road cruisin' in the car CD and just chillin'. The case is flimsy though and one track skipped. Lots of grooves for the $$ .
