Smooth Jazz - The Essential Album

Search: Tourist in paradise - Rippingtons
by: Various Artists

Release Date August 20, 2001
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.

by: Various Artists

Release Date August 14, 2000
' Smooth jazz' is mighty difficult to define. 'Ocean Drive' is a case in point. One minute it's fusion ( that's jazz - funk in old money), the next it's mellow soul, then ( for want of a better phrase) it's easy - listening. It's certainly not always exactly jazz but when it is it's inclusive. No wonder Jazzfm have compiled another collection of the stuff. The accessibility and breadth of this music has helped push their audience up to a million and for a jazz station that's pretty good going.
