This CD delivers everything it promises - funky, soul-drenched, be-boppin', groovy jazz. And what a bargain! I like it so much, I did something I never did before - I sent out an email to my friends (and friend's friends) telling them that they should go out and buy this wonderful piece of work.

Every song on this compilation is a rockin jam. I can't leave the house without it. My wife and I have been stealing it from each other since I bought it, so I broke down and bought one copy for each vehicle. Treat yourself to this CD, you won't be disappointed.

This 2 CD set starts off strong and smooth. I really love the 1st CD, but the 2nd is a bit more laid back. This is real Jazz and I highly recommend this album.

I picked this cd up out of a bargain rack at a music store several years back. The fact that it had artists like Greyboy All Starts, Galactic, and Sweet Potato made it that much more attractive to me. Acid jazz seems to be a conflicted genre, though. To some, it is drum and bass. Others see it as a low-fi funk. And yet others interpet it as electronica laced hip-hop. To me, acid jazz has definite jazz overtones with a combination of these other interpetations. The Best of Cookin' delivers jazzy acid in spades! While many acid jazz compilations I own have a few songs I like and a lot I don't, this two disc set will rarely leave you unsatisfied. My favorite tracks include, Monkey Wrench, Soul Food, Black Eyed Peas, and Outer Space.

I stumbled upon this on iTunes and like the snippets so bought this. I like the assortment and the interesting styles.

Within you will find strong, groovy, interesting rump-grinders from a variety of funkateers. There are no mind-blowers here, strictly considering technique. BUT! If you are looking to chill and let yo' mind wander this'll do the trick. I enjoy this one very much.

Fun and head boppin - great up beat songs to groove to
