Editorial Reviews:

Koop comes from a universe where Miles Davis never made Bitches Brew, replacing swing with funk, and instead double basses kept walking and jazz kept swinging all the way until the sampler arrived to chop it up. Not electronic music with a touch of jazz, but jazz sparingly laced with electronics. Magnus Zingmark and Oscar Simonsson, both from Sweden's main university-town Uppsala, now residing in Stockholm, were the first two jazzheads in their hometown to lose interest in the perpetual Hammond organ-licking of Jimmy Smith. Instead, they embarked together down the more rewarding paths of Hard-bop and raw Latin beats, avoiding fusion's tendency to dilute the original spirit of jazz. Waltz For Koop has been re-released by Palm Pictures with a added tracks and a bonus DVD, containing the acclaimed videos for "Summer Sun" and "Glomd," as well as two remixes, "Summer Sun" (Markus Enochson Remix) and "Relaxin' at Club F***n" (Dorfmeister vs. Madrid de los Austrias Version).

Summary: DON'T LET THE COVER FOOL YOU!
Comment: LOVE IT ! EVERY TRACK IS SMOOTH AND CLASSY! IF YOU ARE NOT INTO LOUNGE OR RETRO DOWNTEMPO, THEN WAKE UP AND TRY THIS ONE OUT ......TIMELESS
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Perfect for bright nights and summer sun, baby!
Comment: This is light, breezy lounge jazz, perfect for cocktail hour by the pool. As dozens of your close-knit circle of VIP friends roll up for their sundowners, they will be pleasantly intrigued but charmed by these sounds. Time to dig out the cruisewear and head for the islands

Summary: Smoooooth!
Comment: This is soooo smooth, so luxurious, sooo...aaaaah!
I love it.
I first heard tracks from this CD on last FM online and loved it ever since.
I listen to this type of music after work, in solitude, with a nice drink.

Summary: 1-2-3 Waltz for Koop
Comment: Simple jazz with the sophistication expected from old jazz tradition. It's nice to hear really smooth jazz without the commericial sound heard on most so-called smooth jazz FM radio these days. Very nice blend of acoustic and electronic instrumentation. Vocals are simple with somewhat complicated key changes that would really frustrate today's no talent rap artist who think talking fast and crude is music. It's good to know that there are still musicians out there who can truly create new jazz sounds without sampling or copying someone else's work in an effort to make up for lack of musical skill.

Summary: Decided to chill? Do it with CLASS !!!
Comment: This is not your everyday jazz CD. Nope.
This is not your everyday downtempo/lounge CD. No way !
This is your special ocassion CD !!! This is a journey that begins with beautiful Jazz (including latin-jazz) touched by smooth electronics. It then takes a soft turn into folky-bluessy-housy music (hard to tell), to finally end with some great downtempo tracks. I should mention that all of this happens while you enjoy silky beautiful vocals and groovy bass lines. This is really good music. NU-JAZZ at its best (and at its sexiest too).
Groovy, classy, sexy... Just right.
