CD Reviews

A Collection of the Finest Output from Jazzanova / Compost
fetish_2000 | U.K. | 03/22/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"More a compilation for the `Compost' label...that collates the finest artists on the label, and makes for a supreme Jazz-styled (think Jazz-tinged House) tracks with plenty to recommend, and for those that like various Crossover Jazz-Fusions. "Koop's - Summer Sun" has been wowing people with it's House-referencing Nu-jazz for some time now. Which sits well amongst the (mostly) upbeat nature of tracks, that are influenced but everything from intelligent breakbeat, to Trip-Hop, through the stylish Bossa Nova, by way of Jazz Rap, & even Electronica. And the fact that several tracks are mixed (or remixed) so tell potential customers that `Jazzanova' are looking squarely at the dancier side of Jazz for this highly recommended compilation."
A Most Bodacious Album...
T. Snyder | AZ | 05/20/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Jazzanova could make some guy in lederhosen yodeling into something smooth, jazzy, headnodding, and downright sweet.... they've got good taste in music as is evidenced on this album. This album has enough electronica/downbeat/chill "neu-jazz" (or whatever you want to call it) for those types of ears, and enough straight jazz for the more traditional jazz types.I'll reiterate another reviewer's recommendation - Victor Davies self-titled and remixed albums are both highly recommended - he's featured on the opener. Koop is also featured prominently with two songs - again highly recommended.I'm particulary intrigued by some of the highly hard-to-find Eastern Germany /Polish/Czech vintage 70s jazz that's available on this release - it's definitely an area I would not have considered for jazz back then. Overall, top notch stuff - 4 stars - (No 5 stars as it's not ground-breaking but it is solid). Recommended."
