Negative Positive
Title: Very well done
Review: Since the advent of sampling, a number of labels with rich libraries have opened their vaults to the new musical alchemists. This CD is among the best of breed. The secret to great cooking is great ingredients. The guest djs/producers are tops in their craft and they manipulated some of the best jazz voices ever. It's worth it if only to hear how jazz greats like Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan would sound with contemporary sounds. All of the djs intently preserved the majesty of each singer's voice.I am more of a jazz purist admittedly. But I was impressed when I heard Dinah Washington's "Is you is..." at Pravda Lounge (NY). I bought the CD the next day.
Is the review positive or negative?
