Rated 8/10

I have never really thought too highly with most jazz albums on this list due to a lot of them just being overly boring and forgettable but there have been a fair few standouts with Street Life easily being one of them. There wasn't anything too out of the ordinary with this album with it mostly just sticking to the basics of jazz but it handles those basics super well. The music is mainly the best part of the album with it being so funky yet so relaxing at the same time. The vocals (when they were used) were also very well done too. Also, this album is one of the few jazz albums on this project that never felt bloated. This is easily one of the better jazz albums i have heard.
Best Song: Street Life
Worst Song: Carnival Of The Night

Rated 4/10

Sorry I got bored

Rated 6/10

You are at position 3 in the queue, please stay on the line and someone will get back to you.

Rated 4/10

Great start, but disappointing thereafter.

Rated 8/10

I don't care that this sounds a bit like hold music, it's smooth AF. If I'm being honest, I preferred it to the Stan Getz album I just got. Maybe some would consider that blasphemy, but I would love to listen to this while driving around a city late at night! 8/10

Rated 2/10

Painfully dull album. Just under 40 mins of background music.

Rated 6/10

Some pleasant background jazz.

Rated 2/10

Jazz not my thing. It keeps going and going, never to stop. This won’t be in my collection

Rated 4/10

Schwieriger Disco Sound mit einigen Soul Elementen. Es ist noch mitreißend, eher nervtötend. Lassen wir das Ding im 70er Schrank.

Rated 4/10

A bit funky, but generally too lose to elevator music.

Rated 4/10

Raten we nu een nummer of een album? Want meer dan Street Life is dit toch niet? Zowel in kwantiteit als in kwaliteit. En dat Street Life...meer dan 11 minuten....Wel een beetje veel hoor.

Rated 6/10

This isn’t super original and it’s a mistake to call it jazz but it’s super chill and funky. I take it over any of the hundreds of mediocre brit-rock bands on this list.

Rated 6/10

Street life is a great song, the rest of the album is somewhat uplifting elevator jazz fusion. 3 Stars.

Rated 8/10

Very surprised how much I liked this. Maybe not the most challenging album, but super smooth, and great as background music.

Rated 2/10

Did this album fall in a tub of body lotion? It's so SMOOTH! It's like a simulator for being on hold with an airline. It's the soundtrack to going grocery shopping in the suburban 1990s when someone decided that this combination of disco, funk and jazz should be the default sound for all commercial space - no edges, just positive vibes and mellow moods. It's kind of a nadir for all three genres - the saccharine strings, the glossy production, the total coked out mundanity. But it has some fun elements: the bass especially goes hard, a d the guitar/sax solos sometimes rip off a hot line amidst the smooth noodle.

Rated 2/10

Boring supermarket background music.

Rated 6/10

Promising sound, but ultimately feels too cheap

Rated 4/10

Meh, a classic to open, then some middling noodling jazz instrumentals. Not my cup of tea, and not really sure why it's on the list. Decent background music I guess, but no more than that.

Rated 4/10

Elevator jazz.
