How is this album? Can you make a top list of all jazzmatazz albums?

Thanks!

Jazzmatazz Version 7.0
Jazzmatazz 2
Jazzmatazz 4
Jazzmatazz 1

version 7.0? isn't that a guru solo lp? there's this as well: 'Gurus_Jazzmatazz-Back_to_the_Future_(The_Mixtape)-2008' basically a remix album of jazzmatazz 4, produced by solar too...

I guess I group it with them because it's produced by Solar also and since he was doing the other Jazzmatazz albums.

my own ranking of the series:

jazzmatazz 1
jazzmatazz 4
jazmatazz 4 mixtape
jazzmatazz 3
jazzmatazz 2

my reasoning - jazzmatazz one kept truest to the name and concept and 4 was surprisingly a very very good modern update. 3 was way more hip-hop influenced but still a very innovative sound and 2 i didn't feel had many standout tracks (although the one with chaka kahn and the space invader samples was ill)...

I only own Jazzmatazz 2, 3 and mixtape. Volumes 2 & 3 have total different sounds imo, 2 is real jazzy and 3 sounds more pop-updated.

There is also a best of Jazzmatazz album out now. Anyone knows if this contains any new tracks?
