A great collection of contemporary jazz! And the book that goes with it is just as good!

Wow. This compilation is an incredible panoramic view of contemporary jazz. mandel interprets the far reaching influence of ethnic, pop and rock music on jazz and presents it with many pertinent selections from the best jazz labels around, knitting factory and blue note. The music is a perfect soundtrack to the book which was released under the same name. If this music is a prelude for future jazz to come the state of music is in better shape than most people recognise.

What this CD essentially aspires to is not a listening device, but instead a companion to Mr. Mandel's "Future Jazz" theories and foresights. Spot-on they are, and this compilation is fine quality and tune, but noticably inconsistant. It will not make you a fan, but it will surely make you curious and athirst for more of the same. A fine and recommended purchase.
