  Jazzmatazz Vol. 3 : Streetsoul - Guru - Music Records Shopping at dooyoo.co.uk
I personally believe that Guru's Jazzmatazz was the most slept on album of the year.
An album which seems to have been ignored by the commerical masses in 2000 was this all-star album by Guru.
The third in the groundbreaking Jazzmatazz series', the part-time GangStarr member has created on this album an impressive hiphop-jazz fusion, with his rapping intertwined with the vocal stylings of a number of considerably high-profile guests.

 Jazzmatazz
Jazzmatazz, an experimental fusion of hip-hop and live jazz, is one of the first full-fledged attempts to fuse rap and jazz.
Jazzmatazz captures the essence of both styles, neither is dominating, rendering both jazz and rap as uniquely resolute and, importantly, undiluted.
The songs on Jazzmatazz vary from romantic (but realistic) love songs such as ``When you're near'' and ``Trust me'', through the mellow kickback like the single ``Loungin' '', to the shockingly real ``Sights in the City''.

 Guru : Jazzmatazz, Vol. 1 - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
One of the first hip-hop records to successfully integrate jazz, Jazzmatazz, Vol.
As for Guru himself, some of his raps can only be described as awkward, and it is at these moments when the record is weakest.
However, the overall vibe of the album is strong, and inane comments from the leader aside ("Jazz is real, and based on reality," Guru says in his introduction), Jazzmatazz, Vol.

 Guru's Jazzmatazz: Street Soul
It's been seven years since Gang Starr's Guru released his groundbreaking side project, Jazzmatazz, Volume 1.
For all the critical success of Volume 1, however, it only hit big in Europe; ditto for 1995's bloated disaster, Jazzmatazz Volume II: The New Reality (where Guru spent most of the disc giving shout-outs to everybody but his mailman).
Five years on, a lot has changed: Gang Starr now go gold on a regular basis, hip-hop duet albums are no longer unusual (take Wyclef Jean's recent The Ecleftic — 2 Sides II a Book), and at 39, Guru now must connect with an audience half his age.

However I got around to hearing this album: Jazzmatazz Vol.
In principle guru's experimentation on jazzmatazz is a good thing.

 Jazzmatazz by Guru CD
As half of the pioneering duo Gang Starr, Guru can count himself among a select handful of innovators (DJ Jazzy Jeff, Stetsasonic, Native Tongues) who in the late '80s introduced jazz's tonal complexity into the hip-hop universe.
Although retro by design (the packaging makes use of the classic Blue Note graphic style), and regressive in it's violation of hip-hop's "maximum effect/minimum means" law of production values, JAZZMATAZZ nonetheless opened up a space for a progressive interplay between hip-hop and jazz.
The man who picked DJ Premier out of a stack of anonymous demos in the Wild Pitch offices hadn't lost his ear for choosing musical conspirators and here he draws on the talents of fusion legends like Roy Ayers and trumpet virtuoso Donald Byrd.

 Guru :: Jazzmatazz * Streetsoul :: Virgin Records   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The heart of a warrior, the soul of a poet, and the spirit of a true hip-hop fanatic; these things describe Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal - Guru for short - as best is possible.
Guru and his partner DJ Premier released a decade of classic albums as the combo GangStarr, but what's somewhat surprising is the lack of recognition Guru's experimental "Jazzmatazz" albums have received by comparison.
To each their own - but if one had to pick any rapper to hear rapping with the best soul musicians of the 20th and 21st century, it would have to be Guru - hands down.

It is a perfect example of how Guru tried to make each track seem like home to the guest artist so that his album would have a rainbow of styles and flavas for the listener to choose from.
What Jazzmatazz boils down to is a Hip Hop CD that mainstream or people that aren't hardcore hip hop fans can enjoy.
Hip hop heads will see it as a little soft here and there but will enjoy the strictly hip hop tracks.

STREET SOUL is geared more towards hip-hop, displaying his renewed sense of purpose and determination to challenge all preconceived notions about the genre.
Spin (10/00, p.174) - 8 out of 10 - "...Hip-pop history has caught up with his retro-vision; if JAZZMATAZZ was fusion by fiat, the rise of jazzy ;70s-inflected neo-soul has created an actual pop-cultural moment where Guru looms like a bald, reposeful Professor X..."
