"The influence of jazz on hip-hop is never as evident as of the latter that sample the former, and that legacy in transition is rarely as fully fleshed out as on Turntable Jazz, a recent podcast by DJ ZedVantz. The set packs together 11 cuts, including a Billie Holiday remix and more great acoustic bass lines, plinkety piano riffs, stripped-bare beats, and guttural scat than you can throw a sampler at. If the Cotton Club had a resident DJ, Turntable Jazz is what he'd sound like on a good night." -Disquiet.com

"The Art of DJing requires skill and creativity. It is not enough to simply play a record and wait for the next song to start. Turntables are instruments and DJ ZedVantz is here to push forward the art of turntablism. His deep knowledge of music history & theory enables him to play the finest of all genres and styles of music. He has continually impressed me with his innovative techniques and originality. Check his myspace page www.myspace.com/djzedvantz for all upcoming shows." -MiSCReaNT whitelabelenthusiasts.com
