When a pop song soundtrack truly captures the essence of a movie, you know a lot of care went into the cut selection. It's a cinch that something like a Cameron Crowe soundtrack is always going to pass the test, but what a delightful surprise that Roll Bounce offers such a charming and witty set that's entirely in keeping with the movie's own enchanting spirit. The mix is about equally divided between straight period tunes (Roll Bounce unfolds in and around the '70s roller-disco craze) and updates of classics from the era. The old numbers are all winners that, again, seem chosen with loving consideration both for appropriateness to the scenes they accompany as well as for the attention they deserved (though may not have received) at the time. In addition to Chic's ubiquitous "Le Freak," lesser-known '70s gems include the funky soul of Johnny "Guitar" Watson's "Superman Lover," and the wistful groove of Bill Wither's languorous, superproduced ballad, "Lovely Day." Some of the updates: an overly-boogified version of Kool and the Gang's "Hollywood Swingin'" with Jason Kay of Jamiroquai doing his best Kool impersonation. To keep the contemporary crowd happy, Keith Sweat is represented with the lush ballad "I Wanna Know Your Name." And there's a hotter-than-ever cover of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" from Michelle Williams. Beyonce also makes an appearance with her loving cover of the ethereal, "Wishin' On a Star." The least successful "update" is a distinctively 21st century reimagining of the disco mainstay "Boogie Oogie Oogie," which gains little from the combo of house-rap and crooning by Brook Valentine, Fabolous, and Yo Yo. But in essence, Roll Bounce is a terrific mix of old, new, and some stuff in between that makes a perfect companion to the film.--Ted FryAlbum Description
With the soundtrack to the film "Roll Bounce," Mathew Knowles has assembled a timeless CD that booms with the heat of summer and the memorable sound of the '70's. Featuring classic originals and dynamic remakes by contemporary artists such as Fabolous, Brooke Valentine, and Yo Yo (giving more bass to Boogie Oogie Oogie); Michelle Williams (covering Al Green's "Let's Stay Together") Keith Sweat (tackling "I Wanna Know Your Name") and Beyounce (with a sultry interpretation of "Wishing on a Star"), the "Roll Bounce" soundtrack represents the best in music then and now.Customer Reviews:

One of the few lineups to make the leap from 1980s "hair band" into long-term semi-respectability, Bon Jovi's eighth studio album is somewhat true to the band's pop-metal roots, though Bounce is ultimately mellower and more theatrical than previous outings. "Undivided" might be a Tom Waits number, all gravelly vocals and booming drums hinting at a dark hipness before kicking into a commercial, lush chorus. Still, it's got a pleasing edginess, as does the toe-tapping, mechanized feel of "Everyday." Jon Bon Jovi's forays into film have clearly influenced Bounce. "You Had Me from Hello," the title nicked from Jerry Maguire, is spare, poignant, and gentle, while "The Right Side of Wrong" references Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and has a piano-heavy Springsteen-meets-Billy Joel feel. Typical ballads like "Joey" and "All About Loving You" also populate the album, which often feels like a singer-songwriter outing, or a movie soundtrack, rather than an album by a veteran rock band. Some of Bounce's bouncier tunes may still appeal to the now-middle-aged fans of the band's "Livin' on a Prayer" era, while the melodrama marking much of the album might lose those who prefer headbanging over Bon Jovi's more mellow and grandiose musical musings. --Katherine TurmanCustomer Reviews:

Worth buying for the single...but not much else........2006-03-09
Bon Jovi is a great studio band, but I feel like in recent years their albums have been weakening in favor of an extremely strong stage show. They're incredible live. The studio performances sound over-produced, while the raw and charismatic onstage versions of the same songs are simply amazing.
Good listening album.......2006-02-28
My Two favorite songs are "Right Song Of Wrong" and "Open All Night." These songs do make me go 'WOW!" They are super ballads with a lot of emotion. The title track is a very fun song, uptempo and lively.
Yet another great cd of theirs @}->---.......2006-01-22

Album Description
The Hot Club of San Francisco is a quintet of acoustic string virtuosos and one of the premier exponents of "gypsy jazz" inspired by Django Reinhardt's Hot Club of Paris. Special guest David Grisman, the world's best-known mandolin player, has a huge following.Customer Reviews:
Review by Ken Dryden, All Music Guide.......2007-05-11
The Hot Club of San Francisco is more than a tribute band re-creating the recordings of Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli and the Quintette du Hot Club de France; the group covers pieces from many different eras never performed by the group which inspired them. On their tenth CD, Yerba Buena Bounce, the Hot Club of San Francisco, which has identical instrumentation to the French group (lead guitar, violin, two rhythm guitars and a bass), leader Paul Mehling, violinist Evan Price and the rhythm section swing like mad in their updated treatment of the QHCF's speeding locomotive represented by "Mystery Pacific" and the brisk, chugging "Black and White." But they also successfully convert modern pop songs into gypsy swing material, such as the Beatles' ballad "I'm Happy Just to Dance with You" (adding Seth Asarnow on bandoneon) and Norman Gimbel's "Sway" (which adds mandolin master David Grisman). Mehling proves himself as a composer as well, contributing the upbeat "Number Two" and the tender "Lullaby" (the latter adding both Asarnow and Grisman). If that's not enough, Mehling adds campy vocals to "Gong Oh" and "Some of These Days." Fans of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli owe it to themselves to investigate these swinging, beautifully recorded sessions by the Hot Club of San Francisco; gypsy swing is very much alive in their hands!
Sure-fire album by the Hot Club of San Francisco.......2007-04-13
First, the acoustics generated at legendary Fantasy Studios are as good as it gets. One feels throughout that he's seated right before a live bank of hot guitars playing in perfect unison, as in the old Parisian haunts of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli. You've got to hear the sound of the guitar wall on "Tickle Toe" and the brightness of the horns played by friends who sat in for "Some of These Days."
Paul Mehling has always had a classic "Django band," with his lead guitar, two accompanying guitars, a solo violin, and bass. Though he has tweaked the band a bit in the past twenty years or so, this classic format has usually prevailed and it reaches its zenith in this recording. Paul's own playing is superb as he romps over some of the brisker and more difficult Django tunes, like "Mystery Pacific," "Rythme futur," and "Black and White."
Evan Price's viloin lead on Pres' "Tickle Toe" is superb, and just when you think it can't get get any better than that, he launches into a swinging chorus or two of "Black and White." Evan has been a stalwart in Paul's band for a long time, bowing with a boppish flair that just ain't that easy on violin. And for fans of the double bass, Ari Monkres is a never-fail chord-keeper who gets an overdue break on "Stardust," where he takes the lead.
There are two tunes on the CD that seem to me inherently infelicitous,
Dean Martin's saw "Sway (With Me)" and Henry Busse's "Hot Lips," yet the Hot Club makes good sense out of them. I would have said that "Hot Lips"--much like Clyde McCoy's "Sugar Blues"--was a one-man, one-band, one-time song. Yet played by this solid band, "Hot Lips" bobs along, sort of an upside-down "J'Attendrai," which HCSF has in fact recorded elsewhere. With the addition of Dave Grisman's mandolin, the minor chord sequences on "Sway" sound as if they they emanate from a Gypsy camp.
Leader Mehling is a fine composer. On this CD, his "Number Two" and "Lullabye" are really noteworthy. "Number Two" is a typical Paul, where the tempo is brisk and there are lots of surprises, as in stops and starts and changes from minor to major. "Lullabye" represent's Paul's other side: a lovely, wistful ballad on a par with his earlier "Giselle."
Paul sings on "Some of these Days," and is in fine, humorous form on Paolo Conte's "Gong Oh."
Speed and instrumental tours de force seem to be the sine qua non of most Gypsy bands. And that is here. But what always impresses me with Paul's band is that everyone plays with good tone quality and intonation. This album ain't no dog. In fact it is four paws up--and a tail and a muzzle. And a swooping canine bow to the grooving rhythm guitarists!
Gong Oh has arrived, and so has the Hot Club of San Francisco.......2007-04-08
On their 2005 release, Postcards from Gypsyland, the HCSF set new, high standards for themselves or anyone wishing to enter the game: in recording quality, professionalism, and fidelity to the gypsy jazz idiom, most curious because the geologic pace of its evolution that never seems to detract from its endless energy. If Postcards set out to impress, Yerba Buena Bounce finds the group even more comfortable in their musical skins; it's more a session where they found great material and arrangements and decided to just have some fun, play great. The result is music that impresses even more.
Paul "Pazzo" Mehling, the founder and leader, sticks to what has always worked well before, and concentrated on doing it better than he ever has: four Django tunes, and classics from Bechet, Carmichael, Lester Young, Lennon/McCartney, and as always, some sparkling originals. Reinhardt's Mystery Pacific, the opener, draws you into the fun and magical space of gypsy jazz freedom, impeccably recorded, authentically reproduced. On the Beatle's I'm Happy Just To Dance With You (yes, the only Lennon/McCartney tune sung by George!), the melody is re-phrased to fit the Hot Club's mien, but HCSF enhances and deepens the original sentiment, treating it not just as a melody, but capturing the whole romance of the early Beatles, and breathing new life into an old tune that makes this more than a reminiscence. Sway is one of two tunes that feature David Grisman on mandolin, and Pazzo's solo has an exceptional quote from Suicide is Painless, that is simultaneously hilarious and sublime. Grisman returns, along with Seth Asarno on bandoneon for Pazzo's 'Lullabye,' to which they both bring a delicate, tender touch.
Of course, the whole band swings from head to toe, but shout outs must go to Evan `Zeppo' Price, whose violin playing consistently takes tuneful flight, yet is always locked in to the the ensemble rhythm...this is great jazz playing. On Tickle Toe, his playing and the SOUND evoke the great Duke Ellington Jazz Violin Session with Ray Nance, Svend Asmussen, and Stephane Grappelli . Reinhardt/Grappelli's 'Black and White' features the quintessential Pazzo solo, where one of Reinhardt's arpeggio techniques, usually used for a three or four bar flourish, is taken to delightful extremes for what seems like an entire chorus.
And the recording: the combination of Reference Recordings persnickety microphone technique and the underground chambers of the Fantasy recording studios in Berkeley worked like a charm. While audiophile recordings will often obsess on brilliance and clarity to the point of sterility, the recording on this album is transcendently natural. The instruments sound, not crystalline and clean, but like MUSIC, with all the warmth left in and nothing in between. The naturalness of the sound occupies that sublime and elusive middle ground between the technical advantages of a studio and the warmth of a live recording.
There's plenty more to enjoy here, from the heebie jeebies of 'Rhythme Futur,' the jamming of 'Borneo,' Pazzo's gorgeous reading of Django's 'Improvisation #2' that closes the set, and an absolutely amazing bonus cut, Paulo Conte's 'Gong Oh,' that will have you reaching for your absinthe and cigar, bumping up with the great gypsy culture that has blessed us with a unique jazz form that only grows more enduring and more exciting, due in no small part to the raucous, sweet-tight sounds of the Hot Club of San Francisco.

For much of the twenty years he's been on the scene, trumpeter, film composer, and educator Terence Blanchard has been unfairly compared to Wynton Marsalis. But this time around, Blanchard delivers his turbo-charged, neo-bop to a new crew of young turks. His band includes the new-thing drummer Eric Harland, tenor saxman Bruce Winston, and West African guitarist Lionel Loueke. The music on this CD is far more open than Marsalis's, as evidenced by Blanchard's beautiful rendering of Ivan Lins' bossa nova "Nocturna," and a hip-hop friendly take on Wayne Shorter's "Footprints." Blanchard also revives a couple of tunes from his previous recordings. Throughout, Terence Blanchard's tone is strong and true, in its own sweet and swinging way. --Eugene Holley, Jr.Album Description
The timing could not be better for Terrence Blanchard's Blue Note debut release, Bounce. At age 41, Terence Blanchard joins fellow label mates and friends who, like him, have matured into modern standard-bearers, each with their own take on jazz tradition and their own particular interests. With Bounce, Blanchard convenes a diverse group of talented young musicians, all of whom help highlight the many facets of his musical vision.The music on Bounce doesn't stay in one place, and it exemplifies Blanchard's style, which prompted People Magazine to comment: "Blanchard's virtues spring from his sense of restraint. The joy is in the tease!"
Blanchard has had successes in film music, orchestras and education, and of course as a jazz musician and bandleader. "Nothing can beat being a jazz musician, playing a club, playing a concert," he says. "When I stood next to Sonny Rollins at Carnegie Hall and listened to him play, that was it for me."

Spontaneous Groove Unleashed.......2007-01-27
well-known. The rest of the tracs are smokin' too though. I'm pleased my attention was caught by his playing, he's not afraid to express himself & goes above & beyond the "comfort zone" so many musicians seem to settle into.
Blanchard's best.......2007-01-06
Please ignore those who say that a couple of the cuts sound like smooth jazz; they don't. The most you could say is that a couple of the cuts bear a superficial similarity to smooth jazz, in the same sense that some of Pat Metheny's music bears a superfical similarity to New Age. But if you can't hear the difference between Terence Blanchard and Dave Koz, or the difference between Pat Metheny and Yanni, then God help you.
Very Good, Not Great.......2005-07-12
For clarification, if Amazon provided half stars, I'd give this three and a half.
All the discussion about Mr. Marsalis is unnecessary. He and TB are both contemporary Jazz trumpeters but that's where the similarity ends.
This is a fine session, the band is loose throughout and there's a very good selection of songs here, half of them TB originals and half of them covers (though no "standards"). On a couple of songs the playing almost moves a little too close to Smoothe Jazz territory for my comfort. However, for example on "passionate Courage", Aaron Parks' excellent piano playing salvages the song.
Altogether an enjoyable listen, though by no meams a classic. (Thankfully Mr. Blanchard avoids the tendency to include exercises in screeching dissonance to obtain "credibility" among some of the critical circles.)

Critical, though not canonical (nor controversial)........2001-08-07
But under no circumstances should this album be purchased ahead of "Landslide," the earlier album by the same group, a session that clearly belongs on any short list of greatest jazz recordings available. Start with that one before deciding on the remaining precious recordings by this musical assembly.
Lately I've noticed all sorts of qualifiers on behalf of products deemed politically incorrect if not morally objectionable. It certainly is cheering to know that we're so morally superior to the likes of Bing Crosby (who errored by singing an earlier lyric to "Ole Man River") or the artist who designed the "sexist" cover for "More Bounce to the Ounce." On the other hand, it never occurred to me that I should view this 1950s cover art as offensive until a previous reviewer pointed it out. If we're so insistent on viewing the cover dispassionately, humorlessly, and without irony, then why not give the subject credit for her medical acumen (I wouldn't even know how to use a stethoscope let alone read one).
[On second thought, yes, the cover is sexist as well as licentious, salacious, and sinful. If that helps bring more listeners to the Curtis Counce Group and an awareness of the quality of music they represent, I'm willing to concede the cover to Satan many times over.]
