Review:
After the success of the first volume of Compost's Jazz Selection, Dutch DJ's Rupert & Mennert have dug back into the archives to compile this excellent follow-up. They've surfaced with some serious gems - Marbert Rocel's "Love Me" in particular is an absolute diamond of a song, with such a lyrical bassline and a soul-enhancing organ and vocals combo that could easily charm the paint off the walls. Elsewhere, more modern bop comes courtesy of Salvador Group's jazz-drum fest "Crosswinds" while Mystefy's "Eye Candy" demonstrates true mastery of a laidback piano style not heard since Ramsey Lewis.
