Title: Volume 3
Product review: The first "Verve/Remixed" focused on Divas, mostly those of the Jazz genre. This third disc - like the second volume - deviates from that enjoyable formula by expanding to female pop singers, male vocalists, and instrumentalists.VERVE/REMIXED 3 consists of 13 newly remixed songs. Disc packaged in clear jewel case; total running time: 63:38. Booklet does not include information about the original recordings (not even songwriting credits).Once again, there are two Nina Simone recordings remixed. Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan both have two songs each. And Brazilian singer Astruid Gilberto appears once again.While containing less music (less 1 track and 10 minutes), this is a better collection than "Verve/Remixed 2". Sarah Vaughan's "Peter Gunn" is very fun; Nina Simone's "Little Girl Blue" is nice. But (one-half of Gnarls Barkley) DJ Danger Mouse's remix of "Baby, Did You Hear?" is weak; Dinah's vocals are barely audible. Surprisingly, Anita O'Day's "Sing, Sing, Sing" is rather enjoyable.
