5.0 out of 5 stars Jazzanova must buy, May 11, 2007

Wow what a stunner! Best LP I've bought in a good long time. I came to Jazzanova late but made up for lost time. For me this is easily their best work which is saying a lot. If you like Jazzanova you will love this. I insist you buy it right now! Is it NuJazz? NuJazzSoul? New Electronica-Jazz? Nu Jazz-Hop? Electronica Soul-Hop? As I listen to it it now... I'm still in awe... Excelsior playing now... It is indisputably modern, but rarely challenging. There is a crispness about Jazzanova... That Berlin edge? It's like they love Jazz but refuse to be retro-dated. Thinking people's Electronica? No flash in the pan beats or slick plastic pop here. The 'In the (Re)mix" lyric "And you wonder why it's takin' a fall?" seems to speak directly to this point. I've made a couple party CDs with it and the peeps just love it. "It's what we do... It's what we dooo". Groove on my friends.

Funky German nu jazz superstars Jazzanova bring together a whopping collection of current Sonar Kollektiv tracks. There's something for everyone on here, from hip hop, to nu jazz, to soulful jazz, to tech house. It's a great representation of what this very diverse and superb label is cranking out these days. They have always been at the top of the nu jazz scene, as well as sneaking in all other types of genres into their repertoire. From their top vocal diva Clara Hill, to tech house monsters Âme, to their main staple artists over the years, Wahoo, Slope, Capital A, and Fat Freddy's Drop, Jazzanova manages to uniquely mold everything to the point that even the near misses work.

If you enjoy this, don't hesitate to seek out their 2004 mix called Mixing, as it's another superb mix of diverse and jazzy sounds.
