5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Overview, December 17, 2001

I am at best a dilitant when it comes to acid jazz, but this is an excellent collection for someone who is interested in the genre. The mix of songs have a bit of flavor from almost every other music style, and yet taken as a whole, is a very cohesive ensemble. You definitely get an idea of the range of possibilities as well as some guideposts for seeking out specific artists or sub-styles.

This review is from: Very Best of This Is Acid Jazz: 10 Yr Celebration (Audio CD)

This was my first taste of acid jazz and it left me wanting for more . I'm more used to the Rippingtons and Spyo Gyra so this extensive 2 CD survey gave me a good "wiff" of the range of styling and composition . The riddims are great for road cruisin' in the car CD and just chillin'. The case is flimsy though and one track skipped. Lots of grooves for the $$ .

i love it, what else is there to say? The best is Mitch Moses' song Lonely Blues but there are so many great songs on this two CD set. i think there is only one song i don't care for and it isn't like i hate or anything. i highly recommend this CD as a good intro to Acid Jazz (which there ain't enough of in my opinion!)
