Kool & The Gang - Kool Jazz (1997) [Flac] [mrtude42][h33t]

Kool & The Gang - Kool Jazz
---------------------------------------------------------------------

"This is a compilation from 1973 that was remastered in 1996. The original
vinyl edition included a selection of the Gang's work from their first five
albums. The CD however, includes tracks right up to the late 70s and a much
longer and astonishingly beautiful version of "Stop, Look, Listen" from "Music
Is The Message". It also does not include "Wild Is Love" (from "Good Times")
which was on the original vinyl instead replacing it with the outstanding "Wild
and Peaceful" from the album of the same name.

The remastered sound is awesome and this CD really showcases the incredible
artistry of Kool & The Gang, an amazing group of musicians who were able to
bring their sophisticated jazz abilities to the funk music that marked the first
ten albums of their career. The CD also includes "Messenger of Wisdom" which
was recorded for "Light of Worlds" but never made the final edition of that
album.

Despite all this tinkering, or perhaps because of it, this CD flows seamlessly
and is probably my favourite although I like all of the first ten Kool & The Gang
albums. Superb."
