Three songs in and you're strutting along to disco-fever by Esther Williams. Phew! After all that, the first disc takes a down-turn with Mystic Merlin until Harold Merlin and The Blue Notes pump out some Jelly-Jazz-like wobbles mashed up with Motown. Swiftly followed by songs worthy of Fame Academy, lifting the spirits of any modern, jazz dancer, or follower's of Jackson, pre the Culkin kid (Home Alone). Disc 2 opens with James Brown. An excellent start and always good for working out some kinks in your dance moves. Then nothing momentous until Kool & The Gang's 'Hollywood Swinging' and Eric B & Rakim with 'I Know You Got Soul'. The unforgettable acid-house tracks at the beginning of Disc 3 make you want to start waving glowing sticks, or hoover, whatever your venue. Then 'Jack The Groove' by Raze brings back those wierd old school disco days, normally held in the school gym with black crepe paper on the windows. The boys breakdancing in shell suits and hair spikey stiff with gel. Bad boy, Cypress Hill states, 'How I Could Just Kill A Man' squashing hero's of the day such as Fresh Prince but Jazzie' s complilation ends strongly with a strong roots vibe and an intro into early jungle. This Ministry of Sound recording is a really great listen for young and old movers and shakers alike. (Joanna Stevens)

Jazzie B's triple album starts off real smooth with some soul-funk by
Archie Bell & The Drells and
immediately you're swaying like no-one can see you, deiriere in the
air.
