With the seventh installment of Pavarotti & Friends: For Cambodia and Tibet, the beloved tenor assembles yet another all-star cast of musicians in hopes of helping the children of Cambodia and Tibet. The music of the pop stars--which ranges from the modern rock of the veteran Eurythmics to the dance-pop of Aqua--really steals the show here, with Pavarotti lending his impeccable vocal support. Tracy Chapman performs "Baby Can I Hold You" as a duet with Pavarotti, and Eurythmics team up with him on "There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)." Of course, the tenor's fans will be begging to hear the opera great in his element, and it's no surprise that he shines on Bizet's "Agnus Dei," with international pop star Mónica Naranjo joining in; Eduardo Di Capua's "O Sole Mio," with Savage Garden; or even Luigi Denza's "Funiculi, Funicula," with Aqua and a children's chorus. As globetrotting benefit tributes go, this is a mixed bag, but there's probably something here for everyone. --Jason Verlinde

Excellent video...........2002-10-13

I am a fan of Savage Garden, The Eurythmics, and George Michael - all of them did a great job with and without Pavarotti....

And the man who sang O SOLE MIO - Darren Hayes (formerly of Savage Garden)... has the most beautiful- angelic- sultry and great voices I have ever heard - and to do it in Neapoliaton Italian (dialect) and in my opinion the best duet of ALL of them featured!!!!!

Great songs sung by a diverse group of artists.......2002-02-07

As always, Maestro Pavarotti's Modena concerts are highly entertaining and uplifting.
All artists sang two songs during the concert (one on their own and another with Maestro Pavarotti), but unfortunately not all of the songs are featured on this video. Another shortcoming is that there are no interviews or any extra footage.

It is funny to hear Pavarotti sing a pop tune as it is equally funny to see a pop singer with virtually no voice doing "O Sole Mio", but if it is all in good spirit and for charity, then it is enjoyable.

If you are intersted in European music scene or simply love Pavarotti, this tape will be a great treat for you.

Pavarotti's Best War Child Concert.......2002-01-04

Bravo showed this concert on New Years 2002 and it blew my mind. It is certainly the best of the War Child concerts, which started in 1996 as Pavarotti's effort to help the children of war-torn countries.
Like in the previous concerts, Pavarotti appears with international pop stars in the open-air piazza of his home town, Modena, Italy. (How do I get tickets for that?)
If you haven't heard any of these concerts, also available on CDs, you will be surprised how well Pavarotti's voice--a voice that makes the gods swoon--blends with the likes of Enrique Iglesias, George Michael, Tracy Chapman, and the Eurythmics. Previous concerts included B.B. King, Elton John, Ricky Martin, and Liza Minelli. Sometimes he sings along in English, sometimes in Italian counterpoint. The effect is stupdendous! These concerts display all the beauty of this great operatic voice while at the same time honoring the art of our greatest pop artists.
What makes this video the best is the children's chorus, the combined Ars Canto of Parmi, Italy, and the Children's Choir of Cambodia and Tibet. The video starts with this chorus joining Pavarotti and the totally sexy Enrique Iglesias in a rousing "Cielito Lindo."
Pavarotti really knows entertainment and in this one he pulls out all the stops! Best of all, part of the proceeds of this tape goes to benefit the children of Cambodia and Tibet. Pavarotti's efforts to help War Child have already built music centers for children in Kosovo, Liberia, and Guatemala. What great leadership!
He says on one of his jackets: "All too often, children are betrayed by the inhuman actions of adults, and become the innocent victims of war and cruelty. War Child is an energetic, and practical organization offering vital hope, working tirelessly for children to regain their rightful place in the world."

Very diverse! Loved it!.......2000-12-18

I am a HUGE Savage Garden fan so that was the main reason to buy this album. And I have to say Darren's voice is AWESOME in "O Sole Mio", the first time I listened to it it made me cry. So I bought the cd. I was glad to see that there are very enjoyable songs in the album not only the SG tracks. I loved Tracy Chapman's "Baby Can I Hold You Tonight" performance, now I am a Tracy fan too. You'll enjoy the performances by Aqua, Enrique Iglesias and Eurhytmics and of course the queen Tracy Chapman " ("Telling Stories" is superb!). I even discovered some new artists I had never heard of and I liked them. You won't be disappointed by this album.

A wonderfully enjoyable and diverse collection of music.......2000-11-05

This collection of music has given me great pleasure. Aqua's Around the World is a joy. Hearing the Eurythmics and Pavarotti perform together is fun and beautiful. I also especially liked Enrique Iglesias's Be with you. 20 tracks and 77 minutes of great music I will listen to again and again. And all for a good cause.

A previously unsung great!.......2007-07-02

Ed Reed's singing is truly wonderful and without artifice. The first because it reflects his personality, and the second because it's unnecessary for someone with his life story. At an age when many are in their twilights, Ed's hitting yet another highlight! His performances are transporting, and continue the tradition of the great jazz singers, combining phrasing, melodies and standards in a fine style worthy of audience.

Listen to the wonder that is Ed Reed..........2007-06-13

I fell in love with his music, in a pizza shop (Cheeseboard Pizza!) in Berkeley, California. I didn't know him or his story then, just his voice, and the nights when he was singing were nights of magic I treasured. I have to say immediately that I cannot lay claim to the words that will do his talent justice.

This is an extraordinary debut album for Mr. Reed at age 78, and oh what the world missed all those years before. This is a work that came out of an encounter he had at jazz camp (just a few years ago!) with Peck Allmond, the Brooklyn based multi-instrumentalist, and Bud Spangler, who each heard Ed Reed sing and wanted immediately to hear his CDs. They were stunned to find he had none, and they, along with Ed's wife Diane, decided that had to change.

Ed Reed grew up in Watts and loved to sing always, even sang with Mingus when he was young, but found himself spending many long years in Folsom and San Quentin due to a heroin addiction. He performed in prison with an inmate big band, but he took a long time after the years in prison and addiction to really think of himself as a musician. The songs he learned in prison were learned the hard way - a half hour of jazz allowed a week on the radio - a song heard maybe once every few weeks, words and music laboriously memorized in fragments over periods of months. When he sings those songs though, you can feel the emotion in every moment, and his intonation and phrasing are beautiful.

The music on this album speaks for itself. Be sure to not let his age deceive you, his rich baritone is at its prime. There's a classic ageless elegance here, and you'll hear a version of "A Sleepin Bee" that you won't forget. Thelonious Monk's "Ask Me Now" and "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child" both resonate. Ed is an erudite scholar of jazz with a prodigious memory for details and connections, and the songs on this album reflect this. It is a love story of a man applying his master craft to his art.

In person, Ed Reed combines statements of uncanny wisdom with a joyful wit; he keeps saying that this CD release is "like a dream". Well, if so, I hope none of us awaken anytime soon! Currently he works as a health educator for several agencies in the Bay Area. His personal program is called "The Art of Living Well"; may he keep doing so himself so there will be more recordings to come. His performance schedule in the Bay Area is really heating up so look for him in person near you, and Boston - thank your lucky stars - he's heading your way this Fall. He's a grand gentleman, and his voice is a wonder. You won't feel the same after you hear him; buy this now.

Excellent intro to Foster and Sousa.......2007-02-25

This is a tremendous value considering the price and the number of tracks that you get. The renditions are not bad, but I have heard better Foster. There is a lot of narration, which makes this a great teaching tool to introduce Foster and Sousa. The narration is a bit more for Foster than Sousa. Some of the Foster songs seem to be cut a little short, giving you what is really more of a sampler than a rich collection of complete Foster songs. The Sousa marches seem to be a little longer and don't have quite as much narration. Even though both men were well known American composers, their type of music was quite different, so it's kind of an odd paring on this album. It's a pleasant listen, but not a "must have" item unless you don't have much Foster or Sousa in your music collection; it's a good starter album. Great for kids who might be interested in learning about these two famous composers.

Now that the genetic code of life has been broken, Frank McComb offers a glimpse of how that scientific breakthrough may affect the music world. With the musical DNA from Donny Hathaway's Fender Rhodes piano and Stevie Wonder's mini-Moog synthesizer, McComb's debut comes off as a romantic mutation of those famous musical genes. He's nowhere near the songwriter that they are just yet, but McComb's vocal texture is so eerily similar to those giants that his debut shouldn't qualify for what is being called "neo-soul" music. This is the real '70s thing--à la Hathaway's Extension of a Man period and Wonder's Music of My Mind. McComb obviously relishes his influences, and he benefits from the guiding production hand of his former boss in Buckshot LeFonque, Branford Marsalis. It also helps that he uses one core all-star jazz group throughout the 14-song set, including Marsalis's sax, Cameroonian Richard Bona's bass, and Russell Gunn's trumpet. The synth pieces have more spirit than the piano pieces, or, said another way, he does Stevie better than he does Donny, with "Love Natural" and "Wasting Your Time" among the best of the 12 originals that McComb displays. And he's not completely stuck in the past--"(They're Gonna Be) Looking at You" and "Listen to Your Heart" have trip-hop's drum & bass feel. --Mark Ruffin

Customer Reviews:

Sounds good.......2007-06-15

Check him out.... 2003 album The Truth and this one.

OMG!.......2007-03-14

Hey! I bought this when it first came out some years back and it NEVER loses it's flavor. Frank is really a talented guy and is timeless in the romantic feel of his music. I have 3 of his recordings and you will not be sorry if you are into mellow music. He reminds me of Donny Hathaway, (an opinion that an ex-boyfriend and I disagreed about) but with a fresh flair! The melodies are unique, yet familiar. His lyrics are mature, but not "old fogey" :) WONDERFUL ARTIST! Check him out!

Grown Folks Music.......2007-03-06

Sounding like a cross between Donny Hathaway and Stevie Wonder, McComb brings a true breath of fresh air to the music scene with this CD. With a jazzy/R&B feel, this CD is a great mix of uptempo grooves, ballads and a wonderful opening gospel number that is sure to be appreciated by those who have grown tired of what is passing for music these days. Lyrically interesting and different. They're Gonna Be Looking At You, Future Love, and Wasting Your Time are stand-outs.

Glad this CD was recommended to me!.......2007-01-16

WOW!!!! Thanks Frank for dual talent of vocalist/musician. I don't know what makes Sony 'shelf' great talent the way they do. I just glad I found Frank McComb before another 7 years passes by.

THIS IS A MUST !!!.......2006-07-14

This guy needs his props!!!! He reminds me of Will Downing...he's smooth with flavor. I have no idea why I have not heard him on the radio. I just heard the import for the first time and it is just as good.

Album Description

Inspired by her daughter's Waldorf pre-school experience, Sangiolo set out to create a collection of easy-to-sing songs that connect the child and caregiver, with a touch of fantasy and reality!

Fairy Moon is a bike ride with mom on a hot summer's day, picking dandelion puffs in early spring, finding a fairy ring of toadstools in the garden, dancing atop dewdrops in the wee hours of the morning, getting into trouble with imaginary pixies, searching for little leprechauns in mid-winter who make shoes for the fairies, welcoming Lady Spring after a long winter, lullabies and fireflies who light the way to bedtime, songs of friendship, love and blessings for the whole family.

The CD culminates with three Bonus Tracks for adults (that are kid-friendly), beginning with First Best Friend, a song she wrote for all mothers.

Customer Reviews:

Family favorite.......2006-03-02

I bought this for my 3yr old daughter to add variety to her music. This one became a fast favorite of the whole family. Maria paints a picture with the lyrics. The songs are fun and the vocals are beautiful. I especially like the celtic influence. A real winner.

Made A Believer Out Of Me!!.......2004-09-22

Just recently bought this cd (for my eight year old daughter). One listen and I was hooked! These songs are for the whole family, not just for kids. Catchy tunes and wonderful vocals.

Enchanting Melodies for Your Little One!.......2004-08-31

A friend fo mine introduced me to Maria Sangiolo when my son was born and the whole family has fallen in love with her beautiful voice, smooth lyrics and enchanting melodies. We play the Fairy Moon at every mealtime and my ten month old son claps his hands, bangs on the table and grins from ear to ear every time we hit play. I reccommend this CD to all parents searching for a child's CD that won't drive them to insanity and that they will want to play even after the child has gone to sleep. We also love Happy Moon!

Album Description

This is the fourth album from the band that gave you "Waiting For A Star To Fall" and "Oh Girl." Written and recorded over the past year, THE WONDERGROUND is a story of miracles in a relationship. Shannon and George have divorced. They then proceeded to write their way to a lasting friendship. The songs are about the journey; alternately cathartic, joyous, and reflective. Musically, it's like peering into a personal journal of this time.

Out of the game to long.......2007-02-23

The music and arrangment were decent, nothing to write home about really. But lyrically this album was terrible.

wow. Wow. WOW........2006-04-29

I received this CD from the creators yesterday after only two or three days wait. I admit that I was nervous, given that Reel Life is still in my desert island collection (along with such disparate elements as Love's Forever Changes and Denzil's Pub). This bias worked against the new CD on the first spin---although I found the first few songs catchy, the rest of the CD only made for good background music.

Now, less than 24 hours and 5 spins later, almost all of the tunes stand out. While I don't know if this CD will make my desert island collection (I've changed A LOT since I fell in love with Reel Life), this is still one of the best smart pop CDs I've ever heard. And it only gets better with each listen, hence the title of this review.

I hear echoes of artists as disparate as The Carpenters, Bourgeois Tagg, Throwing Muses, Toy Matinee, Shawn Colvin, and Enya in this album (plus some influences that I cannot pin down), but the songs and lyrics still show that signature (and singular) Boy Meets Girl heart, mind, and soul.

Hopefully I won't have to wait 18 years for the next installment! (My advice to those interested in getting the CD is to order it straight from the artists---Amazon just cannot seem to get the CD in stock. Plus you give the artists a bigger chunk of the profits, and isn't that how it should be?)

(Addendum: After another 5 listens, followed by a return listen to Reel Life, I must say that this album is actually as good as the former release. Who knows how good this CD will sound in 18 years!)

Better Than The Average Adult Contemporary Pop........2004-08-19

After a long hiatus and a divorce, George and Shannon, the songwriting team behind Whitney Houston's "How Will I Know" and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody Who Loves Me", have return in fine form. "The Wonderground" is, indeed, about their divorce and their ability to move forward as friends. Thus, the album contains insights into separation, loneliness and loss on an adult scale. The music is lush and welcoming--like visiting with an old friend you haven't seen in a while (heck, technically, we haven't heard from Boy Meets Girl since their 1988 smash "Reel Life"). This is definitely worth buying if you are a Boy Meets Girl fan and, even if you are not, there are plenty of great melodies and lyrics. This is one of the better albums from 2003, and had I not looked them up on a whim I would not have even known about it! As a side note, unfortunatly their first two albums appear to be out of print or very hard to find. I do have their "Reel Life" on cd, and I used to have their debut on cd (but I didn't like it and traded it in). After reading their website, it looks like their third album, which was shelved and never released, may get its due on cd through their site. In the meantime, pick up a copy of "The Wonderground" it's great whether you've been through a divorce lately or not.

Very nice.......2004-04-22

I'm also a long time fan of Boy Meets Girl, and still listen to what I think was their first album (the one that Oh Girl was the first track). I love George's voice.

There's lots of good stuff on this album, and it's very introspective and thoughtful. I think my favorite song, at least right now, is Chronic Pain. Everything on it is very light sounding, but there's a lot going on underneath, their lyrics are always beautiful.

A must for R'N'B fans.......2004-04-14

I used to be a great fan of Boy Meets Girl in the late 80's so it was fantastic to here from them again after such a long time. I must honestly say that I didn't expect much when I bought The Wonderground CD, but I was truly shocked by the quality of the album since I first played it. Their sound is as good as ever. Their music has grown older, it sounds clearer now and the lyrics are deeper and better. For those fans who were fans of their soulful music (those powerful drums + guitars + healing voices) this album will be no deception at all. Among the 11 tracks, I choose "Birds of a feather" for its early 70's feeling and "Second Chance" for being a great free-your-heart song, intimate and strong at the same time (much better that "Is Anybody out there in Love?" from the Reel Life album).
Finally I would encourage every BMG fan to write to them in their website. George and Shannon are the most wonderful people!!They would write you back and let you know their appreciation.

Album Description

From the creators of the Grammy® Award-winning Ultra-Lounge series, this is the second offering in the Wonderland collection that delivered holiday favorites Yulesville, Cool December and Under The Mistletoe. These 3 discs are presented with undeniable style and thoughtful arrangement for an exceptional entertainment experience.

Chapter Three of Love Stories, "Something Warm, Something Cool," offers a bit of a twist. The 16-track jazz-influenced chapter in Love Stories is a bit different from the others in that it brings both aspects of love—the ups and the downs—together, in songs interpreted by some of the great jazz singers, such as Patti Austin, Chet Baker, Shirley Horn and Billie Holiday.

Blows Ultra-Lounge Away.......2004-09-29

I have ALL the Ultra-Lounge series cd's and am a collector of jazz/lounge compilations and this cd is far and away above the rest, if not on par with the very best. It is a mixed bag of mostly slower ballads, but all are interesting innovative interpretatons of standards we all know and love. Do not pass this one up! I listen to it everyday. They outdid themselves on this one.
