Title: Same problem as volume 2: insensitivity
Product review: This third installment has the same problem as the quality-impaired second volume: it's insensitive to its source material.Once again we are treated to songs that sound like b-sides that the remixers had sitting in their closet and, given the option of applying some new jazz samples without financial recrimination, have merely dropped the source material in at key locations. This is not a re-envisioning of the original songs, nor is it "21st century jazz music". If you want to hear 21st century jazz music, pick up a Stefon Harris record. THIS record is an electronic record with jazz samples, and not a good one at that. Very little daring here, very few chanes taken, very stock stuff. The only songs that come close to meeting the original mission of this series are the too-short "Yesterdays" (Billie Holiday remixed by Junior Boys) and "Lilac Wine" (Nina Simone remixed by Album Leaf).The first volume remains the high point of this series.
