Sessions 2000 is the fourteenth studio album by French electronic musician and composer Jean-Michel Jarre, released on Disques Dreyfus and distributed by Sony Music in 2002. On January 7, 2003 was released in US.[1] Sessions 2000 featured Francis Rimbert, and was recorded at Croissy studio and later mixed at Square Prod studio by Joachim Garraud.[2] According to Jarre, the album was made as part of a duology meant to fulfill his contract with Dreyfus as quickly as possible following a personal and legal falling out with Francis Dreyfus; the other album, Experimental 2001, went unreleased.[3] The feud with Dreyfus additionally informed the album's jazz-driven sound, as Jarre had previously encouraged him to reorient the label towards the genre.[3] Sessions 2000 reached the 140th position in French charts.

AllMusic[4]

Billboard write that the "tracks all share a certain cinematic scope, which is not unusual for ambient tunes, but Jarre has put a good deal of effort into evoking a pensive, understated, jazz feel that, at times–particularly on “March”–is reminiscent of Miles Davis’ late work." Also added that "he's created a deeply nuanced soundscape that invites repeated listening".[5]

Lorna Palmer from BBC commented that "the album is laced with acoustic instruments (a mix of live playing and samples) placed over a backdrop of seamless ambient electronics and soft trip hop grooves, with chilled jazzy undertones throughout."[6] PopMatters described it as "an enjoyable and very listenable experience."[7] Amy Hanson of AllMusic stated that "Jarre's six-track view of a year is energetic, invigorating, and after-dinner-drink smooth."[4]
