The sequel to 2002's Verve Remixed follows and improves upon the original's formula; take material from the storied vaults at Verve Records and let top DJs of the modern era have at them. Featuring an impressive roster of dance artists like Miguel Migs, Koop, and Fila Brazillia, the trick is matching DJ with jazz standard in a way that compliments both. It's a tough chore, given the classics involved and the need to do them justice. On Sarah Vaughan's "Whatever Lola Wants," Gotan Project manage the task with distinction, filtering rustic and romantic accordions through the song's lusty machinations. Astute choices are required, like Mondo Grosso's decision to build a solid thump out of just the central melody of Archie Shepp's "Blues For Brother George Jackson." Sometimes, the best thing to do is get out of the way; Mr. Scruff's Soul Party Mix of "Do What You Wanna" only adds some background party noise to Ramsey Lewis' ripping keyboard solo. VR2 doesn't hit the mark every time, but the combinations that work accomplish what only the best dance music does--they crumble the walls between genres and encourage us all to get down together. --Matthew Cooke

Customer Reviews:

Five stars for one song.......2007-07-04

this CD is hit or miss. Mostly miss for me. However there is a big but in here. Big enough to give it five stars. If you are an Ella fan you have to part with the cash to hear what has been done with Slap that Bass. That one song is worth the price of admission

Volume 2.......2007-04-10

The first "Verve/Remixed" focused on Divas, mostly those of the Jazz genre. This disc deviates from that enjoyable formula by expanding to female pop singers, male vocalists, and instrumentalists.

VERVE/REMIXED 2 consists of 14 newly remixed songs. Disc packaged in clear jewel case; total running time: 72:08. Booklet does not include information about the original recordings (not even songwriting credits).

There are once again two remixes of Nina Simone recordings. There are also two Ella Fitzgerald recordings remixed. Several instrumental tracks are remixed - I don't get the point of that, but they are included here.

This sequel is not nearly as good as the original.

THE Verve.......2007-02-07

overall great album, my favorite of the series...
just the right tempo and selection of artists make this a perfect album for a chillout but up-beat enough session without falling asleep

Another good package.......2005-12-21

This is the second remixed CD from the Verve Remixed series. These tracks are still well mixed but I do find a few tracks which are quite noisy (a bit over-the-top). Still, I think there are enough good dance tracks to keep this CD in your stereo for sometime. If you are asking for more, then try getting the 'Complete Verve Remixed Box-Set' which comes in a package of four (3 + 1) CDs.

Yes!.......2005-11-06

So I don't listen to this kind of music very often, and I apologise if I'm being naiive or ignorant, but this is an extremely good CD. The first 5 songs are some of the best music I've heard in a long time, and I will definitely be picking up Remixed 3 after hearing this.

It's an idea that never should've worked in the first place: Verve classics remixed by today's hottest DJs and producers. Yet here's the third installment in the successful series and quality control remains high. Granted, there are a few tracks on each compilation that don't work as well as others and Verve Remixed 3 is no exception. The Postal Service take on Nina Simone's "Little Girl Blue," for instance, makes for a pleasing listen, but sounds too much like the former (the Album Leaf does a better job at staying out of Simone's way). Adam Freeland's "Fever" and Max Sedgley's "Peter Gunn," however, get the balance right. Both songs have been updated for the dancefloor, but Sarah Vaughn's exquisite vocals remain front and center. Then there's Lyrics Born with Jimmy Smith's "Stay Loose," which keeps Smith's groovy organ work in the foreground, but makes a funky track funkier yet. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Volume 3.......2007-04-10

The first "Verve/Remixed" focused on Divas, mostly those of the Jazz genre. This third disc - like the second volume - deviates from that enjoyable formula by expanding to female pop singers, male vocalists, and instrumentalists.

VERVE/REMIXED 3 consists of 13 newly remixed songs. Disc packaged in clear jewel case; total running time: 63:38. Booklet does not include information about the original recordings (not even songwriting credits).

Once again, there are two Nina Simone recordings remixed. Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan both have two songs each. And Brazilian singer Astruid Gilberto appears once again.

While containing less music (less 1 track and 10 minutes), this is a better collection than "Verve/Remixed 2". Sarah Vaughan's "Peter Gunn" is very fun; Nina Simone's "Little Girl Blue" is nice. But (one-half of Gnarls Barkley) DJ Danger Mouse's remix of "Baby, Did You Hear?" is weak; Dinah's vocals are barely audible. Surprisingly, Anita O'Day's "Sing, Sing, Sing" is rather enjoyable.

Jazz on Crack.......2007-03-15

After the stellar remixing on the first two verve albums, I was expecting to have an equal or better mixes on the third. Boy was I wrong. I cringed when I heard what some of the DJs had done with the songs. "Gentle Rain" with hard thumping along piano stabs (how is that gentle RJD2?). The utterly annoying Carl Craig remix if "The Boy's Doin' It" with this distasteful pad in the background that makes you want to change the song after 5 seconds, and waiting for him to drop the beat (which he never does). And who the hell puts repeated 16th-note claps for 40 seconds in a jazz song? wtf!? This guy should get his remixing license revoked. Brazilian Girls on meth manages to muffle Blossom Dearie. And Postal Service manages to make Nina Simone sound like a VW commercial. Do these guys know they're remixing JAZZ?

Of course, not everybody does a poor job, which is why I give it 2 stars. RSL and Bent definitely get it done. Honorable mentions to Lyrics Born and Junior Boys. As for everybody else... they should never be let into the Verve archives ever again.

PS. If you need your remix fix, look into Verve's "Jazz Remixed" album. It pretty much picks up where Remixed 2 left off.

The Desire of Dancing.......2007-02-23

Another varied compilation with some incredible results. Nina Simone has been sampled better in other more recent tracks and the Postal Service remix of Little Girl Blue was disapponting. The album soon comes to life with the incredible work of the very versatile RSL on their remix of Anita O'Day's "Sing, Sing, Sing", worth buying the album for alone!! You gotta love their funk! Adam Freeland's re-working of Sarah Vaughan's "Fever" is another dance floor beauty, but just wait until you hear Jimmy Smith's "Stay Loose", and you'll understand why we love these hit and miss remixed compilations. Just like the gold prospector's, you gotta sift a lotta rock before finding the real gems, and there are certainly some pieces of gold in here, you just gotta sift for them. Improves on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th listening.

My kids age 5 & 10 love it as much as I do .......2006-11-16

While on car trips we often have trouble agreeing on music but both my kids love Remixed 3 . They are especially fond of Peter Gunn and Stay Loose. My [...] boy will sit in his car seat and bop and sing along to the entire album. This is a great way to introduce the jazz standards to the younger set. They like the Unmixed to a degree but just go crazy over the remixed versions. We have both versions of all three albums and can make a long trip with no whining about the music.

Fresh, freestyle fun music to chill-out for..........2006-01-26

I was thinking what a more suitable place to write this review; in here or the Chill-out section, but decided it fits here more, since it's more on the experimental and free style side of things...

This compilation is the 3rd in it's series, the Verve Remixed (there is also an unmixed series), the concept in here is mixing old school jazzy stuff; Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Shirley Horn, Hugh Masekela to name of few, and taking it on a whole new level with modern day electronic music...

the results for my opinion is brilliant, really retro / lounge downtempo, with a funky twists and different moods, that you can chill-out too and also really get inside the music...

Nina Simone - Little Girl Blue (Postal Service Remix) 05:18

The whole thing, begins with a very mellow piece; it has lush vocals, taken from the original song, that really wraps with warm, fuzzy feeling... kind of moody, suits good for rainy days, and lazy saturdays; it has the occasional bleep and blops here and there, that overall gives this song a nice treatment...

Billie Holiday - Speak Low (Bent Remix) 04:22

A very retro feeling, with deep melancholic atmosphere, one of my favorites here, sad little number with Billie Holiday husky, deep voice singing about "love is a spark, lost in the dark...", very deep and retro, those are the words I can describe it.

Anita O'Day - Sing, Sing, Sing (RSL Remix) 06:08

wow, this is a funky-ass piece of music, Anita O'Day's singing really make you wiggle your ass: "sing, sing, sing, sing, everybody's starts to swing", it brings joy to me everytime I hear it, sounds like something taken from an old smokey jazz bar in the 50's, with the great funky jazz singing, and the trumpets and everything else around, is just a big carnival, delightful stuff !!!

Sarah Vaughan - Fever (Adam Freeland Remix) 04:38

Fever is a very well-known theme, that you will recognize as soon as you hear it, gets a fresh new treatment here, and it sounds good, giving it more on the groove section, making it sound really electronic and updated... it's good and uplifitng, wonderful stuff !

Shirley Horn - Come Dance with Me (Sugadaddy Remix) 04:40

One fellow from Groove Armada, and another guy called Tim Hutton adds to this song a whole new dance-house aspect, with House influences, and some great groove that make it sound really dirty; great piano line and the rusty voice of Shirley Horn on the lead... also one of the best in here, I love it very much !

Blossom Dearie - Just One of Those Things (Brazilian Girls Remix) 04:48

it's a pretty uptempo number, with some slight Techno riffs, and fast rhythm grinding along, the fast singing of the original lyrics is done nicely, and overall it doesn't really hits the spot, the Techno riffs and high BPM doesn't sound that right to me, but overall this is not bad.

Astrud Gilberto - The Gentle Rain (RJD2 Remix) 05:59

This is also one of the highlights of the album, very relaxing, and loungey feeling; the song just wraps you around with it's warm feeling, and gentle touch, the singing in here is very mellow, and there's a piano line the plays all along, that really adds to the overall great feeling !

Sarah Vaughan - Peter Gunn (Max Sedgley Remix) 05:07

another very well-known theme in here also, I think the melody is taken from one of James Bond's movies (am I correct ?), the main theme is absolutly contagious, and the overall effect is very dramatic, and the whole thing sounds well thought of, a proffesional work.

Jimmy Smith - Stay Loose (Lyrics Born Remix) 3:19

a short piece, funky, bluesy, happy... the Jimmy Smith singing is just wonderful, and the trumpets that follows along; the song is twisting and grooving, really funky stuff, that sounds so much freestyle... one of my favroties as well !!

Hugh Masekela - The Boy's Doin' It (Carl Craig Remix) 06:27

Hugh Masekela has a great voice, singing here in the bluesy way; the song combines technoish beats with cool trumpets, and nice rhythm to go with it, pretty minimal, but nonetheless works really good

Nina Simone - Lilac Wine (The Album Leaf Remix) 05:45

this is very delusional, stoned out music; you get here Nina Simone singing about how she like wine and everything is so hazey... and the dreamy melodies on the background, gives it a very weird atmosphere, very good for smoking and just chilling out too, very chilled piece with a twist...

Billie Holiday - Yesterdays (Junior Boys Remix) 02:25

super-slow, Lounge track with big retro feel to it, it's just a short filler, but very chilled-out and smooth, really enjoyable...

Dinah Washington - Baby, Did You Hear ? (Danger Mouse Remix) 03:31

for the closing song, we get a more on the hip-hop side of things, really fresh sounding; nice hip-hop like beats, and cool ending for this wonderful release.

i'm sorry if my review is too long to read, but when I start, I just cannot stop or make myself short; if you really read the review you probably know by now that this is a really rare collection, of fun and freestyle music, good for background music, for evenings at home, or saturday, or just chilling out too, this is a magnificent work, and I recommand it to everyone, and people that didn't read my review, this is very different and alternative kind of music - if you like old Jazz, Nu-Jazz, Lounge / Chill-Out, Bossa-Nova, Electro, Freestyle... this is one of the best thing that i've ever heard, such good and intersting music, HIGHLY RECOMMANDED.

also, there are vol. 1 & 2 that should be even better, my order is already on it's way !

PEACE

The manipulation of classic jazz tracks has been part of DJ club culture since the '80s, as artists have continually scratched, looped, and sampled beats and phrases. Verve Remixed has been in the planning stages for years, with in-house producers inviting an international cast of remix artists to select songs from the label's vaults. The results are often tremendously successful, as the remix artists have picked up and expanded upon elements already present in the original. The funky Latin beat of Willie Bobo's "Spanish Grease" gets new life from Richard Dorfmeister, along with a prominent new bass line. Similarly, King Britt pumps up the Indian elements of Tony Scott's "Hare Krishna." dZihan and Kamien's trance remix (with tabla drums) of Billie Holiday's "Don't Explain" is among the most arresting tracks, creating psychodrama between Holiday's original vocal and the new environment. Nina Simone's voice seems tailor-made for this approach, as if it has always cried out for the layered rhythmic emphasis. Masters at Work's take on her "See-Line Woman" is electric in its intensity--cool flute sonorities and metallic percussion embrace and catapult the original vocal into a new presence. --Stuart Broomer

Verve Remix.......2007-01-10

This is the third time I have puchased this particular CD and HIGHLY recommend it. It takes the classic jazz stylings of the most popular artists in their day and blends it with todays house/dance music. The combination is soulful and catchy. You won't be disappointed!

Exceptional Lounge!.......2006-07-01

A must have for your collection: From Tricky's FUNKINESS with Billie Holiday's Strange Fruit To the LAID BACK COOLNESS of Sarah Vaughn's SummerTime remix by UFO. You will enjoy the sounds... Please take note that if you are a top-40 junky these tunes are probably NOT for you.

Worst of the series.......2006-04-27

I have all three of the "Verve Remixed" CDs. This one is the worst. On this CD, I just cannot see the point of mangling these old recordings. I found no compelling rhythms at all.

By contrast, the #2 and #3 CDs in the series are great. I find this puzzling. Usually, sequels suck. In this case, the musicheads at Verve seem to have improved their game with practice. I respect them for that. Now I'll just start up Remixed #3 and bliss out for a while.

Brilliantly Groovy and Funky !.......2006-02-20

Not many CD's make you heart skip a beat the moment you listen to them. This is definitely one of those rare finds. And this is why:

1) The quality of the original (unmixed) tracks is superb. Great songs to begin with.
2) The remixes do great justice to the original songs and performers. There's a great deal of respect to these legendary performers and their voices in the remixes.
3) The quality of these remixes is outstanding.

The result is unbelievable. You'll get an incredibly well-produced compilation of jazz hits from SUPER-performers such as Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday remixed by MEGA-DJ's/producers like Rae & Christian, dZihan & Kamien, De-Phazz, Thievery Corporation, King Britt, UFO, Funky Lowlives, etc...

BUT BEWARE, the sound is not jazz (maybe nu-jazz or electro-jazz, but not jazz). It is definitely sexy, groovy, funky, retro-cool, classy electronic music with touches of jazz. Perfect for any situation. Pre-party warm-up at home, martini-drinking at a nice lounge, people-watching at THE white party in South Beach, or maybe simply at home working on your laptop.

This CD is sooo good, it's gonna make you feel hip, cool, and sexy...But all that BS aside, the track selection, remixes, and overall production quality make of this album a TRUE GEM. Go get it.

Pretty impossible to put down..........2006-01-12

The idea of taking a "classic" track and updating it for club consumption isn't new and the road to success is littered with the burnt-out wrecks of failure. But when it works, as it does on most of the tracks here, the results can be quite magical.

So, what makes it work? Well, in the case of Richard Dorfmeister's stunning interpretation of Willie Bobo's "Spanish Grease" it's understanding why the original is so infectious and then overlaying & seriously extending these elements with the very best of electronica/dance to make it... much better. Or in the case of Thievery Corporation's total rework of Astrud Gilberto's "Who Needs Forever?" its taking a couple of phrases from the song that capture the atmosphere & essence of the artist and using them to produce something that, while it bears little relation to the original, becomes one of the very best Astrud Gilberto tracks you'll ever hear.

Clever & brilliantly effective, the whole album is stuffed full of similarly impressive remixes by some of the best club artists around and, if you like this sort of thing, it's an absolute "must buy". And, if you don't, it may well make you think again because once it gets its hooks into you it's pretty impossible to put down.

Though variously rooted in hip-hop, rave and dance clubs sensibilities, the art of mixology has evolved into a potent staple of contemporary pop music. That mainstreaming reached a new zenith with the release of the first installment of Verve Remixed in 2002 and continued to expand via two subsequent collections of eclectic jazz/r&b-rooted remixes that found a growing, enthusiasitc audience at public radio and other adult-oriented radio outlets. This set compiles those three savory, largely down-tempo anthologies of jazz-dj fusion, from the reworked takes on classic vocalists like Fitzgerald, Vaughn and Holiday that dominated the first set to the follow-up editions' more expansive palette, rounding it out with a bonus disc of previously unreleased session outtakes (including Raw Deal's playful reworking of Ramsey Lewis' "1-2-3" and Cal Tjader's "Los Banditos" in an electro-dizzy revamp by Michael Reinboth) and extended mixes of others. Also included on that disc are videos for "Is You Is, Or Is You Ain't My Baby" by Rae&Christian/Dinah Washington, Felix Da Housecat's slinky house take on Nina Simone's "Sinnerman" and Sarah Vaughn's "Fever" as retooled by Adam Freeland. A groove-savvy collection whose compelling mash-ups of history and fashion succeed in fusing some disparate audiences as well. --Jerry McCulley

The Complete Verve Remixed Deluxe Box.......2007-05-14

I was very disappointed by the sound of the music. I really want Ms. Washington's " Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby" and that was a CD Rom Video portion. The rest of the music was awful.

Legendary remixes... brilliant .......2007-01-23

This is rated one of my top favorite remix albums eveerrr.... I'm phycho about these albums. It's genius, classic. The epitomy of what I personally am searching for in this genre of music. Haunting, mellow, rythyms and melodys that stay with you. relentless beats, that drill dreamlike into your mind. Very cool. transforming already beautiful old original songs into something more captured.

Great stuff.......2006-10-06

I *LOVE* this box set and it's a great deal for anyone who does not already own a couple of the discs. This series represents a beautiful synthesis of two great kinds of music: jazz that ranges from straight to swing to funky, and electronic music ranging from ambient to hip hop to IDM.

The "bonus" disc is pretty much a waste and it will not be leaving the box again for a while in my house. In other words, if you already have all three, don't bother buying this set.

A Forward Looking Nod to the Past.......2006-05-28

Oh, how I love the Verve remix albums. As did many, I actually purchased Verve Remixed 1, 2, and 3 separately but am thrilled to see that they can now all be had together, with a bonus disk to boot. Curse those evil geniuses at Verve! I can see that I'll be donating my individual Verve Remixed CDs to friends and will be picking up this master collection for myself. $30 well spent in my opinion.

This is such an amazing collection of music. If you are an electronic enthusiast looking to get a little culture injected into your daily listening, then this collection is most certainly for you. Who knew that modern day electronica artists and jazz legends would prove to be so perfectly matched? Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughan, Astrud Gilberto, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie meet Postal Service, Bent, Brazilian Girls, Miguel Migs, Koop, Jaffa, Felix Da Housecat, Thievery Corporation, De-Phazz, Tricky and Carl Craig. The result? Some of the most amazing impress-your-friends dinner and house party music ever created.

So c'mon, do it. Click "add to cart". You will NOT be disappointed.

Another good package.......2006-11-02

Yet another remixed CD from the Verve vault. This is one of the many CDs from the Verve-Jazzclub series. It runs in the trend of those Verve Remixed CDs and if you are into these sort of redefined dance versions, then please do not wait any further. Slip this in your stereo and let the music take control.
