Artist: St. GermainTitle: Tourist
Year: 2000
Rating: *****
Notes: This is unquestionably a 5-star CD for me. The infusion of house music into high-tempo jazz is a perfect fit. One (among many) of the highlights is "Sure Thing", in which they sample a track from a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between Miles Davis and John Lee Hooker from the soundtrack to an obscure Don Johnson movie - "The Hot Spot" (surprisingly, the original track from the soundtrack is not very good at all, which is even more of a credit to St. Germain). "Rose Rouge" is another sure-fire winner on this disc.
