Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The manipulation of classic jazz tracks has been part of DJ club culture since the '80s, as artists have continually scratched, looped, and sampled beats and phrases. Verve Remixed has been in the planning stages for years, with in-house producers inviting an international cast of remix artists to select songs from the label's vaults. The results are often tremendously successful, as the remix artists have picked up and expanded upon elements already present in the original. The funky Latin beat of Willie Bobo's "Spanish Grease" gets new life from Richard Dorfmeister, along with a prominent new bass line. Similarly, King Britt pumps up the Indian elements of Tony Scott's "Hare Krishna." dZihan and Kamien's trance remix (with tabla drums) of Billie Holiday's "Don't Explain" is among the most arresting tracks, creating psychodrama between Holiday's original vocal and the new environment. Nina Simone's voice seems tailor-made for this approach, as if it has always cried out for the layered rhythmic emphasis. Masters at Work's take on her "See-Line Woman" is electric in its intensity--cool flute sonorities and metallic percussion embrace and catapult the original vocal into a new presence. --Stuart Broomer

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS RECORD KICKS ..., May 1, 2002
This is so cool. Masterminded by some of the world's most influencial DJs, this record is a compilation of some killer jazz music mixed in a new and fresh way. It's an amazing spin on classic material. I'm not a huge Jazz person, but I love some of it. This is mostly remixes of the DIVAs of jazz - Dinah, Billie, Ella, Carmen mixed up in a way that is so catchy. This is the first time I bought an "electronica" album because I'm not a big elecronic person either (I LIKE MOSTLY ROCK!), but since both genres interest me a bit, I checked this one out. It's THE BEST record I've bought this year! And the Verve Unmixed is available for only [$]so I bought it too. It's REALLY amazing as well. Score!

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect electronic update to some great jazz tunes!, July 16, 2002
If you love the flavor of stuff like Kruder and Dorfmeister or St. Germain, this is definitely for you! This is a perfect party disc to put on, everyone will love it. Nothing on here is too abrasive or modern, yet nothing on here is to safe or forgettable either. Each track just improves the over-all appeal of this album. This disc mixes the best DJ's and electronic artists with some classic jazz standards and does it extremely well. This is a mix disc waiting for a crowd to enjoy it, and after one listen, they will.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly Groovy and Funky !, February 19, 2006
By Amazodonte (Caracas, Venezuela moving soon to San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews
Not many CD's make you heart skip a beat the moment you listen to them. This is definitely one of those rare finds. And this is why:

1) The quality of the original (unmixed) tracks is superb. Great songs to begin with.
2) The remixes do great justice to the original songs and performers. There's a great deal of respect to these legendary performers and their voices in the remixes.
3) The quality of these remixes is outstanding.

The result is unbelievable. You'll get an incredibly well-produced compilation of jazz hits from SUPER-performers such as Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday remixed by MEGA-DJ's/producers like Rae & Christian, dZihan & Kamien, De-Phazz, Thievery Corporation, King Britt, UFO, Funky Lowlives, etc...

BUT BEWARE, the sound is not jazz (maybe nu-jazz or electro-jazz, but not jazz). It is definitely sexy, groovy, funky, retro-cool, classy electronic music with touches of jazz. Perfect for any situation. Pre-party warm-up at home, martini-drinking at a nice lounge, people-watching at THE white party in South Beach, or maybe simply at home working on your laptop.

This CD is sooo good, it's gonna make you feel hip, cool, and sexy...But all that BS aside, the track selection, remixes, and overall production quality make of this album a TRUE GEM. Go get it.
