This review is from: New Voices 3: This Is Acid Jazz (Audio CD)
This cd was one of my earliest and best forays into the acid jazz world---I'd buy it all over again in a heartbeat. I've given it as a gift several times to keep from hogging all the fun and funk to myself.
Take a pause from the mundane, buy New Voices 3, and let every cut slowly work out the aches and pains of mediocrity right out of your cerebral cortex.

This Is Acid Jazz...And Yes, It Is, December 29, 2005
This review is from: New Voices 3: This Is Acid Jazz (Audio CD)
I liked the review that was before me, "buy this even if you think you might like it". We tend to get comfortable in our little ruts. We only have certain books we'll read, certain music that we'll listen to, certain notions that we ascribe to and it's okay...it really is okay to have preferences but don't let your preferences prevent you from trying something new.
I tried this CD. Dang, brother, this is some good stuff here. It's trippy. It's weird. It's undeniably great music. This is the kind of music that you have to listen to with headphones. Of course you can listen to it with open air speakers but you are gonna miss out on all the substle little nuances each track provides. It's also better when you listen to it at night...maybe around 12 midnight or so...when the moon and the stars come out to play. You also need to be high. I'M NOT ADVOCATING ANYTHING...I'm referring to a high state of mind...a high reverence for music itself...because if come into this with your droopy 'ol face and your sad-ass mind, you're going to mess up the vibe that this music can and does provide on many levels.
I'm giving it four stars and not five because there were a couple of tracks that I needed to pass over. I won't mention them because you just may feel that this is solid through and through so I don't want my personal preferences to cloud yours.
So anyway, may you open your mind...may you seek and may you find...may you break the clay of conformity and be a gateway for the Light of Love to shine through.
