As I enjoyed the first one, I took a chance on this one, which I have enjoyed even more. Good CD. This is my 2nd CD by this artist.
Worth a spin on a mellow evening with cocktails. This album is more mellow than their next. St. Germain is awesome.
Spend your money instead on Glide by New York Eletric Piano or the new Metheny Mehldau album. This album was a bit disappointing. I listen to a lot of jazz, blues and electronica but I call this Musak (aural wallpaper).
Germain's CD Boulevard is Just.Well.PLAIN BOOoooORING. MY LIFE WOULD SUCK WITHOUT MUSIC.There are many great jazz artists out there. Everytime music comes up as a subject in my dull conversations with pathetically blind people they always have to say that they like electronic music and jazz (actually they always say that they like all music generes, and eveyone knows everything is nothing) and when i ask who. My advice to those palin misguided geeks zombified by the media who enjoy the most predictible execution of this "relaxing blend" of cool jazz and house as a work of art to mention every time the words jazz and electeronica come to mind is GET INTERESTED.I PITTY YOU. and a long list of electronic artists that make Air and St Germain sound like a commercial for hair conditioner. they will always reply (in 98% of the cases) Ella Fitzgerald and St. Germain.Now Ella I happen to like (in addition to many other jazz vocalists) but St.
That's the best way to define what this listen is. The first shot fired in the 21st. This is chill music jazz. Let's leave the past behind. This is the hippest, coolest, jazziest of the 21st century.
Always moving ahead. This is not light jazz, believe me. Miles would be proud. century cool revolution. If you're a bebop purist, stay away. Jazz is about innovation and improvisation.
A new genre of jazz, HOUSE JAZZ. It's jazz over house beats. New stuff. Chillin jazz is right here for your listening and laid back pleasure. But if you really understand jazz this is your place to be. It is jazz, house, dub.
The songs are hypnotic beats, very underplayed, with full jszz improvisation. One song even starts off paying tribute to the world wide DJ's of house.
