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 Average rating - 3.5
Rating - 4 Date: 2008-07-30
Content: I'd heard all three cd's prior to purchasing them and knew that Amazon's price was worth it regardless of the 4th bonus cd. For the most part it's all good; however, the bonus disc, which I believe is simply slightly altered versions of the songs on the other three, is irrelevent and much less interesting.
As for the other three volumes, although there are a smattering of weaker tracks throughout, it was enjoyable enough that after three listens each, I had no reservations about shelling out hard-earned buckage on it.
Summary: Bonus disc of little value; otherwise good deal

Content: If you are not clear on the difference between a "remix" and a "remaster" this may not be the right collection for you.
If your attention is drawn to the terrific collection of Verve artists from the past, this may not be the right collection for you.
This wasn't the right collection for me, and I should have read the Amazon reviews more carefully before hitting the One-Click button. I should have been tipped off when I popped disc 1 into my car CD player and I had to back off the bass (Odd! Never had to do that before!?)
Quickly, I realized I could recognize very little of the original artists' work beneath the new techo beat(s).
I have been purchasing recorded music for 45 years, and this may be the worst purchase of this entire period.
Straight into the trash!
Summary: Be careful!

Content: Totally Wired? not really... Nu Jazz is getting very big in central Europe right now and this pack sounds great under the Greek sun.
Summary: Nu Jazz Remixed

Content: I was very disappointed by the sound of the music. I really want Ms. Washington's " Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby" and that was a CD Rom Video portion. The rest of the music was awful.

Content: This is rated one of my top favorite remix albums eveerrr.... I'm phycho about these albums. It's genius, classic. The epitomy of what I personally am searching for in this genre of music. Haunting, mellow, rythyms and melodys that stay with you. relentless beats, that drill dreamlike into your mind. Very cool. transforming already beautiful old original songs into something more captured.
Summary: Legendary remixes... brilliant
