5.0 out of 5 stars THE SEXIEST, MOST ORIGINAL CHILL JAZZ COMPILATION - EVER!!!, January 2, 2005

When scouring the tracks on chill music compilations, it's hard to avoid the "usual suspects" of European producer-created songs that seem to be on every CD. This album, however, is in a whole different league. Not only is the content different (mostly artist-created and performed selections), the context is also unique: it's a continuous play mix CD, which means that all the songs are connected together - which is the same kind of presentation that you'd experience if hearing the music in a club. It's totally cool and a completely different approach to chill compilations. There are artists on Groove Boutique:Volume ONe that I've never heard of but I'm now totally into. I highly, highly recommend this CD to fans of chill music who want something different as well as people who are into smooth jazz who want something that's a helluva lot cooler than the usual stuff that they're exposed to on the radio. Best songs: Soulive, Headhunters, Alfonzo Blackwell, Jim Jam, Rafe Gomez.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool sounds for grillin' and chillin'!, August 13, 2004

You have friends over for a barbecue and you're looking for great tunes to play that create a laid-back, adult, yet non-elevator music atmosphere. What do you play? GROOVE BOUTIQUE! This album is so excellent and very hip. It's definitely smooth but not so smooth that it will put your guests to sleep. The songs are excellent and the fact that it's mixed make it almost like there's a dj doing his thing in your living room! Favorite cuts: Soulive, Chris Botti, Jimjam, Monet, and Rafe's song Icy.
