Description:

The remix collection that complements Original Jam Sessions 1969 has a handful of stunners, with the rest of the tracks being groovy enough, if only because of Bill Cosby and Quincy Jones` original recordings. Herbert mucks everything up on his track, making Quincy`s band sound both death metal and amusement-park carousel. Cornershop relate the wacka-wacka guitar to the sitar in their mix, while Bedrock and Said Mrad both take the deep and creeping noir route with great results. Mix Master Mike and Cosby`s rap on "Hikky-Burr" sound like a match made in funk heaven, but the turntable master doesn`t do much more than scratch over the original track. Everything else is more pleasing than memorable, with few of the remixers willing to really mess with master Quincy`s groove. One has to wonder if Concord would`ve been better off calling on more hip-hop talent. Maybe they would`ve gone deeper into the funk, but these light-touch and bright remixes make for an enjoyable afternoon poolside if Thievery Corporation and their ilk are your thing. ~ David Jeffries
