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

By	Stephen K. Guine (Oxnard, CA USA) - See all my reviews

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Funkisized, October 29, 2001

By A Customer

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 $$ .

4.0 out of 5 stars Looking for a different taste of jazz, hip hop and soul., February 1, 2006

By	Brian P. Webb "love to groove" (philadelphia,PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's refreshing to hear a genre in the music industry that has'nt been taited by the formula that if a certain sound sells jam it down the publics hears regardless of substance. The best of this Acid Jazz delivers especially for those who can appreciate jazz instrumentation,a solid hip hop back beat,a latin soul groove, funky club mixes and mellow R&B vocals all together in one style of music. This music brings everything to the table and can be enjoyed in any setting, I purchased six CDs so far in this series including the Verve Remixes and I will tell you that after hearing these tracks smooth jazz sounds like the high school band.
