2 out of 5 stars The CD title is Not Lying - It's Like Jazz.......2006-04-12

It's like Jazz but it's not really Jazz- REALLY, no fooling! Oh sure, there are instrumentals you might associate with jazz but they're not performed with any particular skill above & beyond what you might hear at a snowbound hotel in the middle of nowhere. You might give them credit for being around at the beginning of the trip hop movement but it's lightweight trip hop performed without any real commitment to it. Most of the trip hop tracks end up like this ... start with some lightweight jazz - add a speaking track like someone turned on a TV - again, hard to believe but true. Eventually they get to adding a rap to the lightweight jazz but again, there's not much of a commitment to it. I'm not sure who this CD is aimed at - people who want near jazz and near trip hop and bland rapping ... how many people is that in this world?

It is like jazz sort of like sacharine is like sugar unless you actually taste itm in this case, once you crack the CD open, it's clear it's not actual jazz and it's not very good whatever they're attempting.

Other than that, she is honest ... and while Saskia seems attractive, clearly it's not music skills that got her the band and the CD deal.

5 out of 5 stars Saskia Laroo - It's Like Jazz.......2000-04-09

Debut party record from a trumpet ace that Europe is keeping from us as a well kept secret. Recorded in 1994, it has a lot of grooves and diversions but Laroo brings enough foresight to her production that it doesn't seem like a dated piece of product. At home in any urban setting this jazz based funk trip is one well worth making.
