A Decent Start.......2007-07-23

Like many I first came across Ms Broussard on the Love Jones: The Music (1997 Film) singing the Minnie Ripperton' Inside My Love'. It is only recently that I became aware that she had an CD out, which is now three years old. The other matter behind me getting this was that Steve 'The Scotsman' Harvey had a hand in production, and I have grown to like his work. OK, onto the CD itself. The problem that I have with this CD is that there isn't much that sets it apart from the rest of the competition, which is a shame as Ms Broussard can really sing (unlike many of her comtempories) I wish, that instead of playing safe, I wish she have taken a few risks with the subject matter (which in the main is love) and also had a more consistent approach to the production, which in my opinion suffers due to too many different people on board. Even with Van Hunt, and Rahaan Paterson on board, things are a bit samey. I would say that 'These are the days' and 'Joy' are my favorite cuts. A good start and I look to see how she builds upon it on her sophomore joint.

Really nice CD. Good singer and songwriter........2007-03-21

I bought this CD and I really enjoyed the songs. She has such a nice voice that makes it enjoyable to listen to all day. I hope Trina will keep bringing us more of her singing and song writing talents. Her album is very refreshing from what I have heard in a long time. She is in a league of her own. Her and Rahsaan make a great team.

Not bad!.......2007-03-14

I had only heard of Trina Broussard once before. She is good, I think that her talent was not pulled out by the music though. It's good stuff, but basic. I am a sucker for minor or intricate chords or even just a basic melody with a "tight" bridge or vamp. However, her voice is good and if I were to re-do the CD, I would keep some of the tracks!

Same Girl.......2007-02-03

"Inside My Love" by Trina Broussard is featured on the "Love Jones" soundtrack. This is where I got my first dose of the extraordinary Ms. Trina Broussard. Her voice enthralled me with every word she sang on "Inside My Love." I just had to hear more; I didn't care how. So I searched Amazon.com to see if she had an album, and I found a masterpiece entitled "Same Girl." Her voice is literally music to my ears. I have never heard an alto this sexy and pure before. I listen to her each and every day because the sound of her voice soothes me. Her lyrics are often thought provoking and there are many live instruments on this album, something that is always pleasing to me. Trina is not an average singer because she knows exactly how to use her voice. She never, ever over sings; she gives you just the right note every time. Trina hasn't released much music, but the music she has released has moved me in such a way that she has become one of my top 5 favorite artists of all time.
"Same Girl" is a work of art. The album is very smooth, jazzy and laid back. Most of the songs are reprise-worthy. "Still the Same Girl" captured me with its lyrics. I love the lyrical content of this song although I didn't totally understand the underlying meaning of it. I actually had the opportunity to ask Trina herself what the song meant and she exclaimed that it's about getting in contact with someone you used to date, and him wanting to be romantically involved with you again, but because you've grown as a person, you don't want to deal with the same drama. "No Way Out" is another standout track. I enjoy the fashion Trina uses her voice in this song. Her vocal range is also superbly exhibited on this track. On "Will Things Ever Be the Same?", her vocal range is also illustrated very well. The chorus also stands out in this song. "Dreaming of One" is just sensational. Finding a good man is the lyrical content of this track. Most people will appreciate Trina's nostalgia on "These Are the Days". The little boy's voice in the background is so cute! It also helps Trina convey her point: not forgetting about your adolescence.
I really can't say enough about Trina, and how impressed I am at her capability. I highly recommend this album to all because it is very easy to enjoy. Phenomenal effort by TRINA BROUSSARD.

Beautiful Music.......2006-08-01

I must admit this cd is very good and her voice is beautiful. I wish she would have gotten more airplay as this is real music. I've had this cd for awhile and have listened to it recently - the entire cd and how she is able to reach many with the power of her voice and it hits so close to home.

She is a delight to your ears and there is music for every part of the relationship - joy, pain, transitioning (moving on and letting go), pure love.

Great CD! Can't wait to hear more music from her soon.

Oldie, but Goodie.......2006-08-01

Well, I was not expecting to like this one. Its SO old, and very classic (Rodgers and Hart.) But one good thing about it being Rodgers and Hart, is it has lovely lyrics. Clever and witty on every song. Mark Twains book was done justice I think, but I've never read the book. I would suggest this to classic lovers, and newer Broadway fans who want to hear a`"classic" other than Oklahoma. This is a good one. The other great thing about this CD is you get not only A Connecticut Yankee, but also highlights from two other Rodgers and Hart musicals: Higher and Higher and By Jupiter. AWSOME. Favorite Song: "To Keep My Love Alive"

Once lost, now found and reissued on CD........2005-06-03

One of Decca's earliest cast albums (recorded just a few weeks after their famous OKLAHOMA! album) this very nearly became a lost treasure. Recorded on 16" glass masters in 1943, the original release was on 78 RPMS (complete witha booklet givinga detailed synopsis and all the lyrics.) The revival was not a success and when Long Playing records were introduced in the late 1940s, CONNECTICUT YANKEE was not reissued in the new format.

At one time in the 1960s Decca had the masters transferred to tape for a possible LP reissue. That reissue never happened, and in shipping the discs back to the storage facility, they were broken. The tape was taken from the company's archives and did not turn up until almost 30 years later. Though modern technology could probably have coaxed even better sound from the master discs, we must be thankful that the tape was made when it was.

In the meanwhile there were three unautherized isses of these tracks. A new York based private label called Box Office transferred the 78's to one side of an Lp in the 1970s. Later, AEI released an elaborate gatefold Lp with not only the full score (again dubbed from 78s) but also fabricated some additional tracks reprising some of the songs (in theatrical order) by editing portions from the existing tracks. Finally there was a release on CD from Box Office with horrible sound that stil sometimes turns up for sale. Avoid it. Decca actually sent a request that Box Office withdraw the bootleg Cd.

This edition has much better sound and the bonus tracks by Hildegard and Shirley Ross from BY JUPITER and HIGHER AND HIGHER make the package very worthwhile.

THOU SWELL. THE YANKEE WINS AGAIN!.......2003-02-09

"A Connecticut Yankee," by Lorenz Hart and Richard Rodgers, contains more hit songs than the average Broadway season nowadays. "My Heart Stood," "Still," "Thou Swell" and the redoubtable "To Keep My Love Alive" all sound fresh and vibrant in this fabulously remastered 1943 recording. Particularly wonderful is the total and complete recording of "To Keep My Love Alive," sung by the one great (female) love of the Lyricist's life, Vivienne Segal ... nearly seven minutes of the wittiest ways to do in a husband. This is one of the first "original cast" recordings ever recorded, and it sounds as crisp and clear as a recording made today. Bravo! (Submitted by staff member Stephen J. Finn)

A Lost Gem.......2002-01-17

A wonderful rerelease of glass discs made for the 1943 revival of this charming musical. While the orchestra is less than polished (there is one particular trumpet you can hear over and over that is awful and flat!)--it has a lot of zest to it, and makes one yearn to see the play - indeed, to see more of the Rodgers and Hart shows performed.

Not complete and NOT first CD version.......2001-08-19

This CD collection of tracks from the 1943 revival of the Rodgers & Hart musical is advertised as the first CD presentation of these tracks. This is incorrect. I have a CD issued in 1999 by Box Office Recordings called "A Collector's Rodgers & Hart" which contains all the "Connecticut Yankee" tracks plus 14 additional tracks of Rodgers & Hart covers (different from the covers on the Decca CD).

Worse, I have an AEI LP recording of the revival which has three additional tracks from the show. Why weren't these selections included in this recording?

On the other hand, even the 9 tracks from Connecticut Yankee are worth owning. As a previous reviewer said, just Vivienne Segal's "To Keep My Love Alive" is worth the price of admission!

Surprise: excellent collection.......2004-10-21

There are so many Dusty Springfield compilations out there that it's difficult to pick out just one as a summation of her career and artistry, but this budget-line collection is surprisingly enjoyable and at 18 tracks, is quite generous.

The collection features big hits ("Stay Awhile", "Son of A Preacher Man") with lesser known songs like "Spooky" and her cover of "Take a Little Piece of My Heart" which is actually quite good. The album also includes some of Dusty's best songs in my opinion, including her sensitive reading of "This Girl's In Love With You" and the enduring classic, "Breakfast In Bed". In fact, there are a number of tracks from 'Dusty in Memphis' although Dusty's biggest hits, "The Look of Love", "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" and "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me" are not here. The sequencing is fine, ending with the title track, which was covered by Swing Out Sister in the '90s, although Dusty's version still sounds fresh.

This is definitely worth buying if you can find it a low price, but then mostly anything of Dusty's is worth buying, whatever the price.

An Absolute Must For Any Dusty Fan!.......2000-06-13

A few years ago a friend house sat my Hollywood bungalow. He pushed Play on the CD player and this absolute gem came on. My friend turned the volume up (nearly killing the neighbor poodle) and listened to Dusty wail to these songs for the weekend. This is glorious Dusty---singing the best pop of the 60's, including Bachrach-David, Aretha Franklin and more. The perfect pool party CD. Buy it now!

The sophmore album from female foursome Vervein. Their sound is like the aural equivalent of vicodin and red wine at the same time. A moody, atmospheric foursome with ethereal vocals, interwoven guitars and cello set to driving drums. Likened to Mazzy Star, the Breeders, American Analog Set, and Throwing Muses.

Vaguely pleasant, but lacking hooks, substancial chord progressions, and melodies. It's not drone music it's pop-rock but it just kinda drones. It's not giving me much to get into. Reminds me of early Curve, which is a change from their last album which was somewhat more organic but equally patchy, although it had a couple truly great songs and this album seems to be lacking any. I don't suppose this band will ever make an album that reaches the potential they hinted at during those best moments.

Composer Sigmund Romberg is best known for the operettas he wrote in the early 20th century. While you may not know his name, there's a good chance you¹ve heard at least parts of The Desert Song or The Student Prince if you're a fan of musical theater. But with The Girl in Pink Tights, Romberg strayed from the style that made him famous and explored a more Cole Porterish va-va-voom vein. Indeed, parts of the show are reminiscent of 1953's Can-Can, which isn't too surprising, since--like Can-Can's Lilo--The Girl in Pink Tights starred a strongly accented French actor, [Zizi] Jeanmaire. Granted, the team of Romberg and lyricist Leo Robin (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes) didn't possess Porter's wit and melodic sense, but they still came up with a deliciously silly Parisian soufflé of a show--even if it was set in 19th-century New York. Note that Romberg died without finishing the score, which was completed by orchestrator Don Walker. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews:

really only noteworthy for the fabulous Zizi Jeamaire.......2002-12-27

THE GIRL IN PINK TIGHTS is a fairly stock-standard 50's Broadway musical, but features some lovely songs. The show is really only noteworthy as the "legit" Broadway debut of French ballet dancer-singer Zizi Jeanmaire.

The story is about a stranded French ballet troupe, and the numerous romantic entaglements that occur. Jeanmaire sings wonderfully, and headlined the musical with European actor Charles Goldner. Others in the cast included Brenda Lewis, David Atkinson and Alexander Kalioujny.

The score by the late Sigmund Romberg and Leo Robin is quite formulaic, but does feature a handlful of memorable tunes like "When I am Free to Love", "Lost in Loveliness", "Up in the Elevated Railway" and "My Heart Won't Say Goodbye".

As always, Zizi Jeanmaire is a stellar performer, be it on disc or in person. She made her Broadway debut several seasons before PINK TIGHTS, dancing the leading role in her soon-to-be-husband Roland Petit's ballet version of Bizet's CARMEN, which played at the Winter Garden Theatre. In the early 1980's she returned to Broadway to star as La Mome Pistache in a short-lived revival of CAN-CAN, a show that bears a certain similarity to THE GIRL IN PINK TIGHTS.

THE GIRL IN PINK TIGHTS is another of those lost gems that has been brought into the light by those folks at DRG. Highly-recommended.

Keep bringing them back.......2002-04-04

Fortunately for collectors CD's of older musical shows are being released. The Girl in Pink Tights boasts the music of Sigmund Romberg whose songs in this piece do not quite have the staying power that flow through his operettas. Nonetheless the songs have humor, sparkle and romance. Noteworthy is the appearance of the French ballet artist Jeanmaire whose talents were choreographed by Agnes de Mille.

A couple of fun numbers are I Promised their Mothers and Love is the Funniest Thing, sung by Charles Goldner in both and Brenda Lewis in the second. Lost in loveliness and My Heart Won't Say Goodbye are appropriately romantic. And as every show about shows has to have a song about the theater in You've Got to Be a Little Crazy.

It's good listening. When are they going to release Li'l Abner? or Joel Gray's The Grand Tour? I got a list.

Product Description

From the time they open their lips on the one-minute opener to their self-released debut, "One Whole Year," it's apparent that this San Francisco quartet is intent on treating us to gorgeously layered, hushed vocals a la This Mortal Coil's Rutkowski sisters or His Name is Alive's Livonia, bouncy melodies as unforgettable as The Go-Go's, and a mesmerizing pop sensibility we haven't heard since femme Brit poppers like Lush, The Primitives, and The Heart Throbs. The aural syrup of "Ace" features a sparkling, Red House Painters-styled solo from co-founder Esther Reyes and while the entire album is best appreciated loud and under the influence of headphones, I'd like to call particular attention to the off-the-wall harmonics of "Mush." Not since the glorious days of the Millington sisters and their archetypal female rock band, Fanny, have we been as impressed with the vocal interplay as we are here with the duo of the other co-founding guitarist Jess Congdon and bassist Rachel Fuller. Of course, having said that, the rough-edged "Mockingbird" immediately recalls 90s faves, The Heart Throbs, an impression reinforced on the swirling, psychedelically tinged "Station," (listen to Cleopatra Grip's "Calavera" as a reference point), which again features some stellar strumming from Reyes. She also pulls double duty on cello, adding a warm glow to "Cautious," and an air of heartbreaking mystery to the slower-than-molasses "Three." Kudos, also to that neat introductory solo on the latter, a daring move on what is otherwise an upbeat collection of pure pop bliss. If Jess and Rachel aren't singing to each other on "Fields of Green," I'd like to wrap my arms around both of them and go for a long stroll in the park, listening to this incredibly romantic cuddlefest, perfectly suited for some high-spirited makeup sex. The best "vocal" album of the year, Vast Low Cities is also stacked to the rafters with lushly romantic pop songs that'll have this listener's ears glued to the speakers, hotly anticipating their follow-up. -Jeff Penzcak, fakejazz.com

Amazon.com

The exploits of Ian Fleming's British super-agent James Bond have long since become the longest running film series in history, spanning 40 years and counting. Not the least of the cycle's charm has been its music, a body of work that encompasses pop clichés (the twangy guitar of Monty Norman's original "James Bond Theme") and elegant underscores alike. While this collection spans music from Dr. No to The World Is Not Enough, decades of various legal entanglements prevented it from becoming the ultimate Bond music anthology. This is more a credible simulation, a newly recorded collection of cues and suites (including music previously unreleased on the original soundtracks) performed by Nic Raine and the City of Prague Symphony Orchestra. With John Barry's lush, ever-evocative scores both forming the core and setting the tone (but also featuring the work of George Martin, David Arnold, Michael Kamen, Bill Conti, and Eric Serra), it's the most comprehensive--if not exactly authentic--collection of Bond music yet attempted. --Jerry McCulley

this 4 CD box has most of the familiar James Bond compositions.

Still,some tunes are missing(from for instance Thunderball and For Your Eyes Only)and most of the time the attention is on the instrumental version of the title track which is a bit of a shame.And yet,there are too many great pieces on this collection to make it a failure.Alpine Drive,Dawn Raid at Fort Knox,On Her Majesty's Secret Service(every track),Miss Goodhead and so on.All great pieces that not only show the great talent of John Barry but also the great power of James Bond films.Cause when you hear the music,you see the scenes in front of you.

Very much a recommendation to all Bond and Barry fans although sometimes it focusses too much on title songs.The only solution is to buy all separate soundtracks.

Good Collection.......2005-02-24

Very nice packaging and good tracks from the Bond music library make this an anoutstanding item. "From Russia With Love" and "Diamonds Are Forever" contain beautiful and energetic renditions. The John Barry music is handled quite well. I didn't real care for the David Arnold selections. "The World Is Not Enough" was weak. Overall it is a good collection just the same.

Not excatly what I expected.......2003-04-10

I when I read some of the reviews of this I thought that this was a complete collection of all the originals of the Theme songs of every James Bond movie and remakes done by the Prague Philharmonic of some of the other songs in the various movies. After recieveing this ... I started to listen to it and found out that it was all done by the orchestra. The are very good, but to a point it is not the same thing as owning a disc will all the orignal songs on it. Overall, this good if all the you want is the orchestral versions of most of the songs in the movies or the suites out of some of the movies. To a point these don't compare to the orignals. Keep looking if you want a set with all the orignals songs in it.

The James Bond CD for the John Barry purist?.......2003-01-28

Let's cut to the chase. Nic Raine and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra do John Barry's work justice. 90% of this collection is as close as you can get to the original James Bond soundtracks. The other 10% lends itself to some artistic license with respect to the arrangements. Most notable is the main theme to Goldfinger. Also Nic slips in a few previously unreleased tracks. You will find these on the On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Golden Eye tracks. This CD boxed set is definitely made for the Bond soundtrack fan. The die hard John Barry "purist"/ traditionalist may find some of these tracks questionable at first, but after a few times Nic Raine's artistic license gives a fresh perspective to the familiar Bond/ Barry themes. The only reservation I have with this CD set is with some of selections that are performed. For instance, from Goldfinger, "Dawn Raid At Fort Knox" was a poor selection considering the selection available on that particular soundtrack. The most famous 007 soundtrack of all I dare say. Overall Nic hits the mark, and this CD set is a tribute to Barry's (as well as, George Martin's, Marvin Hamlish's, and Bill Conti's and David Arnold's) work. It's all here in one collection. I am a die-hard Bond soundtrack fan, and to the casual soundtrack fan I say this CD is set all you need to experience the Bond music legacy. To those who are hard core 007 soundtrack fans ...this is a FANTASTIC "addition" to your collection. This has to be the BEST (and probably the only) 007 "soundtrack" compilation. Whereas all the others feature the "main themes" from the Bond films as originally recorded, this one truly gives you the Bond experience.

Very enjoyable with most of the BOND music you'd want........2002-12-08

This is similar but more comprehensive than another BOND collection on one CD by the City of Prague Philharmonic. These are good renditions but clearly not the orginals. I must ask if the Prague Philharmonic does not own a harp? It is glaringly missing in the Goldfinger themes and i am sure on others. That harp is an exciting and beautiful touch to the wonderful GOLDFINGER theme and its absents is unfortuneatly very noticeable. Also some of the other themes can even sound muzaky if thats a word(elevator music)
It gets 3 solid stars good collection yet defineatly something is lacking.
