Reviews
Highly Recommended - "...The album slides along as if it's on ball bearings...a noble and successful effort, an album that, like the sexy-sweet relationship jazz and hip hop enjoy, is easy to get into, and hard to pull yourself away from...", "...solid, innovative and relaxed variations on jazz and hip-hop. This should also silence those who mistakenly believe that rap is not musical...", 3.5 Stars - Very Good - "...JAZZMATAZZ dishes up a pottage of fat jazz rhythms set off by message-oriented lyrics...proves that given the proper chemistry, a marriage of opposites can create a new union that stands independent and proud in a league of its own...", "...offers his audience a chance to hear some talented players as artists in their own right, not just fodder for somebody else's samples...", 4 Stars - Excellent - "...Guru may be heavily steeped in the jazz tradition but his roots are in hip hop, with the result that...JAZZMATAZZ delivers on the rap front...", 3.5 Stars-Good Plus
