Amazon.com
Though variously rooted in hip-hop, rave and dance clubs sensibilities, the art of mixology has evolved into a potent staple of contemporary pop music. That mainstreaming reached a new zenith with the release of the first installment of Verve Remixed in 2002 and continued to expand via two subsequent collections of eclectic jazz/r&b-rooted remixes that found a growing, enthusiasitc audience at public radio and other adult-oriented radio outlets. This set compiles those three savory, largely down-tempo anthologies of jazz-dj fusion, from the reworked takes on classic vocalists like Fitzgerald, Vaughn and Holiday that dominated the first set to the follow-up editions’ more expansive palette, rounding it out with a bonus disc of previously unreleased session outtakes (including Raw Deal’s playful reworking of Ramsey Lewis’ "1-2-3" and Cal Tjader’s "Los Banditos" in an electro-dizzy revamp by Michael Reinboth) and extended mixes of others. Also included on that disc are videos for "Is You Is, Or Is You Ain’t My Baby" by Rae&Christian/Dinah Washington, Felix Da Housecat’s slinky house take on Nina Simone’s "Sinnerman" and Sarah Vaughn’s "Fever" as retooled by Adam Freeland. A groove-savvy collection whose compelling mash-ups of history and fashion succeed in fusing some disparate audiences as well. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews

Great stuff
I *LOVE* this box set and it's a great deal for anyone who does not already own a couple of the discs. This series represents a beautiful synthesis of two great kinds of music: jazz that ranges from straight to swing to funky, and electronic music ranging from ambient to hip hop to IDM.

The "bonus" disc is pretty much a waste and it will not be leaving the box again for a while in my house. In other words, if you already have all three, don't bother buying this set.

A good package
As the name suggested, this complete version consists of the Verve remixed series:- 1, 2 and 3. In addition, there is one extra disc featuring remixes and enhanced materials not found elsewhere (exclusively for this package). These 3 disc consist of good dance music (ambient, house, techno, trance, trip, just to name a few). Give it a few spins and you will find yourself glue to it. I can't help wondering if Verve Records is still coming out with new CDs in this series. Last but not the least, I think that this is a 'value for money' package and for those of you who like good dance remixes should not miss this edition.

A Forward Looking Nod to the Past
Oh, how I love the Verve remix albums. As did many, I actually purchased Verve Remixed 1, 2, and 3 separately but am thrilled to see that they can now all be had together, with a bonus disk to boot. Curse those evil geniuses at Verve! I can see that I'll be donating my individual Verve Remixed CDs to friends and will be picking up this master collection for myself. $30 well spent in my opinion.

This is such an amazing collection of music. If you are an electronic enthusiast looking to get a little culture injected into your daily listening, then this collection is most certainly for you. Who knew that modern day electronica artists and jazz legends would prove to be so perfectly matched? Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughan, Astrud Gilberto, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie meet Postal Service, Bent, Brazilian Girls, Miguel Migs, Koop, Jaffa, Felix Da Housecat, Thievery Corporation, De-Phazz, Tricky and Carl Craig. The result? Some of the most amazing impress-your-friends dinner and house party music ever created.
