4.0 out of 5 stars Themes from a Smoky Night, May 8, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Acid Jazz Test 1 (Audio CD)

Swinging hipster tunes for the Now Generation... Slow beats and smooth guitar, piano, and/or horns shrug through their notes with often-gentle vocals wafting up and into the night like cigarette smoke. Evoking little more than a lost weekend in the nightclub district, this compilation doesn't need any higher aspirations. It's a great soundtrack for dark nights, and holds up well over time.

This review is from: Acid Jazz Test 1 (Audio CD)

Among the better "acid jazz" compilations, though somewhat uneven. Straddles the soul/funk and hard funk lines for the groovy of feet as well as the head-nodders. Milk's "Beached" is a bossa-flavored beauty featuring a smooth vocal ride on a hearty, bouyant rhythm - you can almost smell the sea. Who is that lady,anyway? Not to be outdone is Jhelisa's gritty tigress of a voice on a bouncing, funky soulful track. A sweet beat and a fine feminine voice combine for joyful acclaim in any genre. No wonder these are my two favorite tracks here. Nontheless, this disc offers an intriguing range of tones and is worth having if you like funky soul.
