Phonography

DJ Smash curates a collection of remixes from Blue Note's roster, featuring reworked tracks by Medeski, Martin and Wood, Bob Belden, Ronny Jordan, and Cassandra Wilson. While the concept shows promise, inconsistent track selection undermines the album's impact. Standout moments like US3's "Riddim" and Salif Keta's "Tolon Willie" are scattered among weaker entries, making this feel more like a label showcase than a cohesive artistic statement.
