Search: Mister Magic - Washington- Grover Jr.
by: Various Artists

Release Date May 16, 2005
the hiphop side of this album is truly killer. every one of those songs are hand picked bona fide classics that if you dont already own you will surely recognise from the dance floor. Buuuuut for me personally the sould side is kinda lame. i prefer a little more bump n grind n liveliness to my soul and most of this stuff is a little slow. percy sledge? comeon! my parents used to slow dance to him! wheres ike and tina getting nasty for example? weak complaint i guess but if you like the solomon burke otis redding style ballards then you cant go wrong.

Ken Burns Jazz: the Story of America's Music

Search: Mister Magic - Washington- Grover Jr.
by: Various Artists

Release Date December 08, 2000
This huge and very comprehensive set of 5 CD's is one of the best overviews of classic jazz ever. It covers jazz from 1920 onwards, and although there isn't much on the CD's from 1975 onwards, thids is not why it was produced. This focuses on the classics: Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke, Miles Davis, John Coltrane et al all figure heavily. Also, this is one of the few times a Jazz compilation is cross-label, meaning you get all the classics in one go.

In conclusion, if you only ever buy one set of Jazz, this has to be it.

Smooth Jazz

Search: Mister Magic - Washington- Grover Jr.
by: Various Artists

Release Date
Of the 27 tracks on offer here a minimum of 11 are covers and some of the originals are from way back ie Grover Washington and Earl Klugh before the term Smooth Jazz had been dreamt up.

Dont get me wrong you get great musicians here and side one showcases some of the very best including Boney James, Rick Braun, Pieces of a Dream, Fourplay and the Rippingtons, where the CD falls down is side two where 10 0f the 13 tracks are from 1980 and before and would have probably fallen into the Jazz Funk category.

If you are looking to try a smooth jazz album I would recommend hunting down old Jazz FM compliations which are going very cheap on this site eg 101 Eastbound a penny, a bargain with more upto date artists.
