This Is Smooth Jazz: The Box SetFor someone who does not do vocal music at all, I found this set useful in two of the three recordings. Done by Instinct Jazz, It has a wide variety of current hits.
Beethoven: 9 SymphoniesI don't know if I did this right. I'm supposed to be talking about "This Is Smooth Jazz: The Box Set." I'm really enjoying The "Box Set." Throwing a bunch of Smooth Jazz on my CD changer sets me up for a mellow evening. It's a great way to unwind.Now it's time to go dig up Beethoven and get wound back up.
I found this product disappointing. Please keep an eye that I am talking about the Oasis CD, not about This is Smooth Jazz. Three CD, triple disappointment. The arrangement was mediocre, since within a particular CD everything sounded alike. Buy the Oasis instead. I would recommend instead "Oasis Smooth Jazz Awards Collection." I wish I could find another one of that caliber. It was not to the level of other Smooth Jazz CD's I own. This is Smooth Jazz is not at all like that.
The arrangement on that one is absolutely great. Gret variety, great performers, great pieces. I enjoyed about 3 pieces on the whole set.
This cd displays great work from some of acid jazz's top performers, who have taken a little edge off on some of these tunes to make it more smooth jazz friendly. I think these bands try harder and are truer to their music and play for love and not fame. I would highly recommend this cd for anyone who is exploring and tired of the same old headline smooth jazz names i.e. Gerald Albright, Kenny G, Najee, etc. I started collecting acid jazz by listening to compilations and then getting cd's of the bands whose sounds I like. You will have people asking you "who is that.", when you put this baby in.
A very good mix of different moods and feelings in this album.I recommend this album for the one who searches for more than just soft jazz. Some of the music puts you in a soft mood and some perks you up. I f you can play a guitar, try to play along to the songs, i do.
