"I bought this box set for my mom for her birthday and she absolutely loves it. I'm not a smooth jazz fan myself, but she certainly is! She loved the fact that each CD had a different "theme"... one for morning, noon and night.
Anyway, I just wanted to share that with any of you who are considering buying this for yourself, or for your mom!!!"
Great mix! Perfect for first timers

"This cd displays great work from some of acid jazz's top performers, who have taken a little edge off on some of these tunes to make it more smooth jazz friendly. I would highly recommend this cd for anyone who is exploring and tired of the same old headline smooth jazz names i.e. Gerald Albright, Kenny G, Najee, etc. I think these bands try harder and are truer to their music and play for love and not fame! I started collecting acid jazz by listening to compilations and then getting cd's of the bands whose sounds I like. You will have people asking you "who is that?", when you put this baby in!"

"Beethoven: 9 Symphonies
I don't know if I did this right... I'm supposed to be talking about "This Is Smooth Jazz: The Box Set." I'm really enjoying The "Box Set." Throwing a bunch of Smooth Jazz on my CD changer sets me up for a mellow evening. It's a great way to unwind!
Now it's time to go dig up Beethoven and get wound back up."
So, so.

"I found this product disappointing. It was not to the level of other Smooth Jazz CD's I own. The arrangement was mediocre, since within a particular CD everything sounded alike. I would recommend instead "Oasis Smooth Jazz Awards Collection." I wish I could find another one of that caliber. The arrangement on that one is absolutely great. Gret variety, great performers, great pieces. Please keep an eye that I am talking about the Oasis CD, not about This is Smooth Jazz. This is Smooth Jazz is not at all like that. Three CD, triple disappointment. I enjoyed about 3 pieces on the whole set. Buy the Oasis instead.
