Rated 6/10
I liked this less than I thought i was going to. Pleasant enough, but is far too long, both at the individual song level and the whole album level. Low three.
Rated 8/10

"Why are you trying to be all things to all people?"- Eric Andre
Yeah the electronic/downtempo sections are somewhat dated, but the selections of disco, big band jazz and salsa don't clash with them as much as I might have feared. On that note: there's no better time to listen to Latin jazz than in a heatwave!
"a symphony to the New York street"- BBC Music. Hear hear.
A possibly less cultured comparison I'd like to make is the jazzy soundtrack to New Donk City, a level in Super Mario Odyssey. Almost like New Donk City is some kind of reference to New YORK City
Rated 6/10
Rentoa tunnelmointia. 3/5
Rated 10/10
So cool, amazing flow, incredible groove
Rated 8/10
This is like jazz crossed with hip hop or electronic dance back beats, and Latin (samba) undertones. Very unique, very interesting. The lively back beats kinda add something to the normally bland jazz, plus they got in a few heavy hitters like Jocelyn Brown and George Benson on a few songs as well.
Reminds me of that band Gotan Project we had in the 1001 list.
Favorite songs: Sweet Tears, Runaway, Nautilus (Mawtilus), "It's Alright, I Feel It", Jazzy Jeff's Theme, Gotta New Life, Maw Latin Blues, Roy's Scat
Least favorite songs: Taita Caneme
4/5
Rated 8/10
I was expecting this to be more salsa or soul influenced but to my surprise it's very jazzy. I'm not complaining though as I really enjoyed that. There's even a bit of hip-hop influenced mixed in. Quite a cool mix of influences.
Rated 6/10
Pleasant with bits that are pretty good, but too long winded and a bit meandering at points.
Rated 6/10
Even after 3 listens I can say that I expected more of an album studded with star musicians
Rated 5/10
Bounces and bumbles between weather channel funk and disco throwback. Weirdly uncohesive for it
Rated 10/10
Yea this is killer. It's Alright, I Feel It is a great track. This was an absolute delight.
Rated 6/10
Enjoyed this, chilled laid back dance album, not sure I’ll come back to it, but that might change over time.
Rated 6/10
This made #25 on the UK charts? How did it not make the list?
