Review by Tim Kern

Jazz Superhits Of The 60s: A Timeless Groove Machine Alright, let’s cut to the chase. Jazz Superhits Of The 60s by Various is one of those albums that makes you feel smarter just for owning it. Released in 1998 under EMI Jazz (UK), this compilation feels like a love letter to an era when jazz wasn’t just music—it was a vibe, man. This isn’t some pretentious snooze-fest either; it’s packed with tracks that slap harder than your grandma’s holiday cookies. Let’s dive into two standouts from the lineup. First up, we’ve got “Cristo Redentor.” Oh man, if this song doesn’t give you goosebumps, do you even have skin? It opens with this dreamy, almost spiritual vibe—like someone whispered “peace” into a trumpet and hit record. The horns are so smooth they could moonlight as silk sheets. Every time I hear it, I imagine myself standing on top of a mountain wearing sunglasses at midnight, feeling invincible. That’s the magic of this track—it’s not just jazz; it’s therapy without the co-pay. Then there’s “The Sidewinder.” Boom! If “Cristo Redentor” is zen meditation, this one’s more like caffeine-fueled chaos—but in the best possible way. From the first funky bassline, it grabs you by the collar and says, “Hey buddy, wanna boogie?” And honestly, who am I to say no? The groove here is infectious enough to make even your cat tap its paws. There’s something about the way the rhythm locks in—it’s impossible not to nod along, even if you’re pretending to be cool while sipping coffee in public. Now, sure, other tracks like “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy” and “Song For My Father” bring their own heat too, but these two stuck with me like gum on a hot sidewalk. Maybe it’s because they’re polar opposites—one all chill vibes, the other full-on dance party—but both remind me why jazz will never go out of style. Here’s the kicker though: listening to this album in 1998 must’ve felt like finding buried treasure. These songs weren’t new back then—they were already legends. So compiling them together was basically saying, “Yeah, we know what’s good. You’re welcome.” Final thought? Jazz might’ve been born decades ago, but albums like Jazz Superhits Of The 60s prove it ages better than fine wine. Or maybe it’s just me getting old. Either way, grab a copy, turn up the volume, and let the saxophone convince you life’s worth living. Honestly, where else can you find redemption, funk, and existential crises all in one playlist?
