Jazzanova
Remixes 1997-2000
Release Date: 2000 10 31
Label: Jazzanova/Compost

Berlin-based collective Jazzanova has set the standard for production in the electronic jazz world. And this double CD/five-record set is a testament to that. Spanning only three years, the group has assembled their entire remix output onto a disc that is utterly indispensable for those who appreciate their brand of innovative soul. The discs assemble original workings from diverse artists such as 4 Hero, Incognito, and Azymuth, and morph them into well-produced bossa beat jazz workouts without forsaking the original intent of the composition; a refreshing concept in a world of overly produced remixes that ignore integrity and strive for pretentiousness. These principles are no more evident than on the remix of Har-You Percussion Group's "Welcome to the Party." Originally a composition that appeared on Ubiquity's outstanding New Latinares compilation, Jazzanova turns this honest, simple piece into an extended workout, complete with a shimmering piano breakdown that would have the snootiest of jazz purists bobbing their heads and shaking their hips. Serving not only as a must-have collection for followers of the group, but also as a primer for people unfamiliar with their sound, this remix compilation is absolutely essential.
