Customer Reviews:

mediocre overall, but *does* have some "must have" tracks.......2005-10-29

The only reason to have this disc is if you have no other way to get the following must-have tracks:

* Ode To Billy Joe - Lou Donaldson (used by Mary J. Blige)
* Mystic Brew - Ronnie Foster (used by the Tribe Called Quest for Electric Relaxation)
* It's Your Thing - Lou Donaldson
* Dominoes - Donald Byrd
* Get Out Of My Life Woman - Joe Williams (used by Biz I think)

I'd add Walk Tall by Cannonball Adderley, but it's *not* the version I think people have heard of, which was fantastically used in Brand Nubian's Concerto In X Minor. For this, you need Walk Tall/Mercy, Mercy, Mercy from Adderley's 1975 Phenix album.

I was really happy to get Mystic Brew, Ode To Billy Joe, and Get Out Of My Life Woman, as I had never had them before. The Lou Rawls is a good slow groove. The Shirley Bassey is a good soul groove.

The songs I haven't mentioned don't do anything for me; I'd never really heard them before this disc either.

tasty and crunchy dolomite.......2004-07-13

if you are a Beastie Boys fan you'll hear some sources -- be sure and check and out "Put on Train" by the Three Sounds -- its pure dolomite!

The least exciting volume of the series, but it's still dope.......2003-01-23

Blue Break Beats was compiled by Blue Note Records, giving any hip-hopper or R&B fan a crash course in songs where their favorite artist "got that beat from" (for example, many folks will recognize "It's Your Thing" as the "Punks Jump Up to Get Beat Down" groove by Brand Nubian). This volume has its standouts like "Dominoes" by Donald Byrd, "You've Made Me So Very Happy" by Lou Rawls, and a great rendition of "Light My Fire" by Shirley Bassey. But that song called, "Don't Call Me Nigger, Whitey", throws the album off course a little bit. Still get the album for the other songs, though, and once you listen to this volume, you're gonna want to get the other volumes, too.

patchy, but some stone-cold classics in here.......1999-07-30

All the Blue Break Beats records are essential listening in my book. Sure, end to end listening can sometimes get a little afghan coat, but these albums have pure gold nuggets in amongst the beardy filler. Standout trax here are Gene Harris' funky, funky, funky version of "Don't Call Me Nigger Whitey" and Joe Williams utterly SMOKIN' "Get Out My Life Woman"....what an awesome groove, pool 'o' chocolate voice and a horn section that are so tight they must be underage. Alone , these two tunes are worth the price of admission. A wicked set.

Excellent Grant Green Starter Kit.......2007-04-05

Yes, all of this material is available piecemeal on other recordings and yes, this material covers only a portion of Grant Green's career.

If someone is a Grant Green completist, they will already own each cut, and if someone only cares about "pure" straightahead acoustic jazz, they will not want to own this.

If, however, someone likes the sound of funky soul-jazz from the early 70s they will find some of the very finest which that genre has to offer on this disc.

Each cut features funky rhythms and inventive, bluesy guitar improvisation - all locked into a tight groove. This collection could be entitled "The Best Of Grant Green's Funky Period" because that is what it is.

An added bonus is the hilariously thickheaded set of liner notes by DJ Smash. They're so terrible, they're unintentionally enjoyable.

Original Jam Master.......2005-11-09

This is a great sampling of Grant Green's funky jazz cd's. You can get it for a lot less than the three new "Original Jam Master" cd's, and I'd recommend it over any one of them. The song choice is excellent, and there are a couple songs from cd's that are out of print.

Very Funky Set.......2002-06-20

one of My Friends turned me on to Grant Green's Material a few years back&Needless to say it never left my system.the Grooves&Vibe were too Funky&Had alot of Feeling.you can't Ignore the Vibe on this Set.

Blue Note is either greedy or lazy.......2000-09-19

How many times can a record label recycle the same material? In the case of "Ain't it Funky Now", this is at least the fourth time it has appeared on CD. Sookie Sookie makes its third appearance. While this is a good collection of Grant Green's funkier recordings, it is only a "must have" for those who don't own too many Grant Green records.

Outstanding!.......1998-11-01

A wonderful collection of funky jazz. If you like jazz, and anything funky you're going to love this disc. Simply put, Grant Green is a must. Great cover of the Meters' "Ease Back".

A delicious set of some of the best Blue Note jazz........2000-01-17

Want some of the best jazz around--? Budget impaired, like myself? Fortunately, for us, there's this Blue Note Records collection of the best from favorites like Donald Byrd, Lou Donaldson, and Grant Green. Now, the powers that be at EMI-Capitol thought to get some sells of this great jazz by packaging it as a "sample this" offering to hip-hoppers/rap ranconteurs. It turns out that they needn't have done so. The various volumes and the box set with Vols 1-4 has some great work like Bobbi Humphrey's "Harlem River Drive" and Herbie Hancock's "Olilloqui Valley". The music, in other words, can really stand alone...I would urge those interested in sampling to listen to these greats not to lift a groove, but to help themselves in learning how to make their own groove....Dig?

some great seventies grooves.......2004-01-27

I don't give 5 stars lightly, but I think I'd be unfair if I dropped a star without really knowing why... The truth is, this is a fantastic compilation. Be warned, it's a pretty short - thirtysomething minutes. But it has that great early seventies groove that Bobbi Humphrey was so proficient at, and it also contains a very rare track of hers - Smiling Faces Sometimes, which allmusic.com rightly calls "awesome." Also, the other collection of her best contains some of her later tracks which for my money don't compare with these (don't get me wrong, I like them, but this is a better compilation). For cruising with the top down or just hanging out, CDs don't get much better than this.

This is for the specific collector.......2001-08-13

One should get this CD if they are very interested in the crossover between jazz and hip-hop. This CD takes you into several tracks that have been used by hip-hop artists of the nineties. The sound is pretty good, but the beats are for those for a taste for hip-hop.
