5.0 out of 5 stars War - Platinum Jazz Review, January 14, 2009
By David M. Malatesta (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was only 6 years old when this album was made. I just discovered it in my 30's. I feel like I have good music taste. I listen to Rock, Jazz, Rap, Funk, Alternative, Classic Rock, R&B.. you name it. This album slid into my everyday listening (at night) like it was nothing. Really great. Really Raw. It moves like a burning cigarette its so smooth. It sounds almost like the band is set up in your living room it has so much soul. It doesn't sound current, but a glass of wine at night and this record go together so well you may think you're hangin out in a Lounge in Philly in the 70's. If you like funk, soul or jazz, this album is a Must Have.

5.0 out of 5 stars War with more good music!, June 21, 2008
By Ray "fury" (perth west australia) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
War are one of the most musically creative band of all time this cd is one of their best, over the years they have improved with their funk and jazz combination. So if you are a War fan as I have been over the years this is a cd to add to your collection. It is easy to be critical of bands, but this band has proven over the years their ability to be one of the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Platinum Jazz alone is worth it!!!, January 25, 2008
I don't know what that Olof guy is talking about, but apperantly he don't know what this music is about or he don't understand it. When I heard War getting down on Platinum Jazz, I couldn't get enough of it. I think Platinum Jazz is one of the funkiest jazz instrumentals of that era and anybody that understands it will love it.
