5.0 out of 5 stars 7 stars; no exaggeration, no joke, February 19, 1999

By A Customer

i own 450+ cd's and this is one of my top five. just about every song on it is pure butter. being a serious jazz keyboardist, i could delve into the finer musical attributes of this album, but to make a long story short, i didn't know music could be this good until i heard this album. 'guiding light' blew me away right from the start. this is a gem if there ever was a gem, and based on the other albums that i rated five stars, i would accurately rate this one at seven. only those who know what good acid jazz is need apply here!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's got the groove alright, January 14, 1999

By A Customer

Here in this radio hellhole called Houston, "Acid Jazz" cannot be found. Pity us. So it was a pleasant surprise when I ran across this CD at, of all places, the public library. I've been confused about what "Acid Jazz" even meant, but, if this is it, give me more! I had not heard of one single artist on this compilation, but they are my new favorites. If this is truly Acid Jazz, then it's contemporary jazz, without the schmaltz, or words, but with an extra kick and a bite. I love it. I will be seeking out music by each and every one of these artists.

5.0 out of 5 stars Purely excellent!!, November 15, 2002

By	Shorty J - See all my reviews

I have had this CD for some months now, and I can NEVER get tired of it. I've always been an Acid Jazz fan, and came across it @ my local Barnes & Nobles. It is truly the BEST of Acid Jazz; I especially enjoy tracks 2,3, 9 & 10. These "unknowns" need more recognition. Heck, they need it more than some of these "superstars". Anywho, order it/pick it up today & let your soul dip and jive (does that make sense? :)
