Broadway's NOT better!.......2007-07-24

This CD gives you all the songs from Once On This Island, but they are recorded by the Broadway cast. Usually that would be a good thing- not this time! They changed many of the rhythms and the dialogue is very forced and unnatural. They make the story seem "corny" rather than deep.

Why tell this story? It's a good story, with better music!.......2007-03-11

There is nothing worse than a weak story linked together with weaker tunes. However, Once on this Island is operatic in its beauty, organic in its execution (not a note out of place!) and is bound together with a strong story, stronger performances, and some of the most upbeat and uplifting music I have ever heard. The music brings you to the Antilles and establishes the place of this island, with its symbitioc relationship with nature and its gods. And you will root for Ti Moune and her faith in her place in the world, and even though she doesn't get the guy, it could be argued that she gets something even better.

Give it a listen....

BROADWAY.......2006-05-14

My schools 8th grade play was Once On This Island and I loved it so i'm gonna buy this cd! you should too!

Very Authenic and Beautiful Work.......2006-04-25

The team of Flaherty and Ahrens truly blew me away with "Ragtime", and I didn't anything could come close to that power. While "Once On This Island" is nothing like "Ragtime" in terms of gandeur, it still is a wonderful work filled with some wonderful music. The ensemble on this recording sounds exactly as they should in my opinion, and they perfectly depict people on a magical island. The story is also one that I enjoyed in that it was very simple, yet had a great message. While the vocal work provided by the ensemble is great, it is LaChanze who truly makes this recording soar. Her voice is like that of a goddess, and she makes all of the emotions of Ti Moune come alive, especially in "Waiting For Life", which is this recording's star number.

It may not be big, bold, or grand, but "Once On This Island" is a magical recording of a magical little musical that proves to be quite effective. It's authenticty and clever musicality are what make it great.

Stunning and flawless Musical Fairy Tale .......2006-04-08

This musical represents all that is RIGHT with new musicals. Flaherty creates musical themes that recur throughout the piece and Ahrens' lyrics are brilliant. Through this musical, which I saw in NY 7 times, I was introduced to the talent of La Chanze and now as the lead in Color Purple, the world is getting another glimpse at what a great singer she is. Listening to her interpret a song is beautiful. For those who never had the privilege of seeing the show, we can all thank our stars that the production lives on forever in recording. Many other notable performers from Milton Craig Nealy (Rain) to Kecia Lewis Evans (Mama Will Provide) to Jerry Dixon (Some Girls)to Eric Riley (in every stand out number), this cast recording is worth every penny. I am on my 2nd copy and rapidly working toward my 3rd.

Justly Praised.......2007-06-30

A lot of reviews on Amazon are so effusive and undiscriminating that it makes me distrust all of these Amazon reviews. So I've been quite wary of all the hyperbolic praise of various CDs but have to say that this is an extraordinary record. Anyone interested in music must buy this CD -- it has a wonderful, freewheeling and lyrical quality to the music and the singing that really stands out both in Brasil and worldwide.

Great album from Milton Nascimento.......2007-05-21

This is one of the best albuns by Milton Nascimento. Great repertoire, excellent vocals. Don't miss it.

Essential.......2006-10-31

This is one of my desert island discs along with Milton's "Courage". People coming from the jazz realm may want to start with that album or perhaps his collaboration with Wayne Shorter. People coming from the rock realm should start here. The beauty and depth of this album is amazing. The many Brazilian influences along with those from the most progressive pop/rock Americans/Brits joined together with the talent and attitudes of the musicians make for an undeniable classic. Track 11 could have come forth from my psyche if I had the talent to create such a thing. That's why musicians are to be cherished because they (at their best) are expressing those things in this better language. I certainly cherish Nascimento, Borges, and the rest involved with this masterpiece.

The Best Brazilian Folk Rock Album Ever?.......2006-07-05

The recent World Cup sparked me to go searching for Brazilian music. I was familiar with a few tunes from Nascimento's Clube da Esquina LP, having seen him perform several times in Chicago. But wow-- nearly every song on this 1972 disk is either melodically compelling or flat-out inspirational. Take a listen to "Tudo Que Voce Podia Ser," "Cravo e Canela," "Nuvem Cigana," and "Cais." If you ever meet anyone curious about Brazilian music, this is one of the places to start.

Just buy it. Stop reading and just buy it. NOW!.......2006-05-27

I've listened to this album 9-10 times in the last three days since I received it, and I haven't tired yet. In fact, it only whets my appetite for more. If everything in the world I had was taken from me, and I had only 15 bucks left to my name, I'd go on out and buy this album again. Because it would sweeten the agony of my loss and make life possible again. You think I'm exaggerating? If you have any soul at all, if you have even a vestigal appreciation of good music, you will love this album. I have no less than 5000 albums in my collection, and right now this one is in the top ten. Think: Abbey Road. Think: OK Computer. Think: Gil E Jorge. Think: What's Going On. Think: MBV's Loveless. It's that good.

A Slight Innacuracy.......2007-06-13

The version of "Nadia's Theme" (Theme from The Young and the Restless) isn't actually the one you're expecting. I believe it's actually the original arrangement made for "Bless the Beasts and the Children". So what later became the Young and the Restless theme (the one that was a hit) still remains unreleased on CD.

Hopefully, we can see that version on a future release. Maybe they could get "Little Ballerina Blue" on one while they're at it.

Still, some great stuff here.

Hard to Find Orchestral Instrumentals, Vol. 2.......2006-03-22

The purchase went as we had hoped. The delievry was as promised, and the quality of the product equal too, or above our expectations.

Not totally an instrumental.......2006-03-10

I was excited to find this album. I bought it but was horrified to find a loud vocal on the first track. The rest of the music is all instrumental but this one track simply JARS you when it plays. Very disappointing!

Another Collection You Wonr Find Anywhere else.......2003-05-06

Well, ERIC records has done it again.

Continuing their unique practice of giving us both well known hits and impossible to find rarities, Eric presents Volume 2 of "Hard to Find Orchestral Instrumentals". This one is, in my opinion, even better than the first.

First off, the sound quality of this disk is ASTOUNDING. ERIC has gotten the various reissue departments to provide them with absolute first generation mono and stereo masters and this CD proves it. The aural quality is breathtaking. The fact that Orchestral music is so beautifully suited for true stereo playback is exhibited here, as a whopping 15 of the 20 tracks are True Stereo and sound magnificent.

There are, of course, the big soundtrack hits here, like 'The Day The Rains Came" "Rocky", "Ben Casey", "Theme from The Apartment", and " Nadias Theme". All top 30 and well remembered. However, for this 43 year old fan, it was the some of the lessor known tracks, in particulatr the 1963 Colpix low level charter "Theme From The Long Ships" that really makes this collection the gem that it is. Outstanding tracks include "Theme From The Sundowners" , "The Dark At The Top of The Stairs" and "I Will Follow Him" , all tracks that will suddenly sound familiar again after first listen.

Therein lies the BEST part of this collection. When you put this on your player, you will be treated to a nostalgic feast,
a time when the magic of Orchestral music still ruled the charts, and existed in all our homes. And you'll certainly remember most of these once you hear them, which is the fun part!!

There arent enough great things I can say about this collection AND its sister CD "Hard To Find pop Instrumentals- Part 2" I personally liked this volume better, but if you dont have either yet, give yourself a musical treat, and some REAL listening enjoyment and pick these up...

Its listening the way it used to be.

Though it's the "cast album" to the touring Bugs Bunny on Broadway show, which featured a 50-piece orchestra playing to the original cartoons, the real stars here are not the musicians but Carl Stalling and Milton J. Franklyn. As the composers behind the Looney Toons cartoons, Stalling (and later Franklyn) expertly composed scores that borrowed from classical music, popular songs of the day, and the whimsical compositions of Raymond Scott. Working with talents like Chuck Avery (the most musically adventurous of Bugs Bunny's directors) and voice actors Arthur Q. Bryan (Elmer Fudd) and Mel Blanc (virtually everybody else), they created some of the best-loved music of the century. They also introduced classical music to new generations through their loving reenactments of Rossini's The Barber of Seville (as "The Rabbit of Seville") and, amazingly, the entire Ring cycle (condensed to seven minutes in "What's Opera, Doc?"). Not as expansive as the two volumes of the Carl Stalling Project, Bugs Bunny on Broadway nevertheless is a fine collection that concentrates on an oft-overlooked legacy of Bugs Bunny and company. --Randy Silver

Customer Reviews:

Not For Purists.......2004-09-22

If you have an ear for the original recordings, then this collection is not for you. On tracks like "The Rabbit of Seville" the switch from the original soundtrack to the modern re-recording is both jarring and unsatisfying. If you loved the "live" show then this may bring back some memories for you. If you want to hear the original performances of the great music from Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, I recommend "The Carl Stalling Project" instead.

Cute CD for Looney Tunes fans.......2004-04-03

Sure, it's not for everyone's taste but no fan of Bugs or Daffy can be without this CD. Outside of the famous 'Merry Go Round Broke Down' and Merrie Melodies theme the Looney Tunes cartoons are well known for paying tribute to and parodying classical music and there's loads of that behavior to be had on this CD. The popular song 'What's Up Doc' is also featured here and there's just enough of Daffy Duck included to keep me happy. Hard to come by but worth getting if you can pick it up cheap.

Oh, the memories this brings back!.......2003-03-05

I never thought I'd hear some of these again. At their height, the Warner Brothers studio used classical music very cleverly in their animations, and this compilation gives us a sampling of the best. About the only thing that made me not give it the full five stars was that it didn't have the excellent "Daffy's Rhapsody."

BRILLIANT AT THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE; THE CD IS JUST AS GREAT.......2002-03-12

I just had the incredible pleasure of seeing this production, conducted by George Daugherty, at The Sydney Opera House. If the week of sold-out audiences were any indications, it's "adult kids" who really love the classic Looney Tunes cartoons. Ordered the CD immediately from Amazon when I got home, and have relived this magnificent production over and over. The music is as incredible as the animation, and Carl Stalling's incredible collaboration with the brilliant Chuck Jones is even more evident when one is just listening to the incredible orchestral performances of these spectacular scores. With the death of Mr. Jones, this CD is even more of a memento of a brilliant golden age of American animated cinema. As we say down here "downunder," it's a bloody ripper!!! (And that's a supreme compliment in Australian!!!!)

Bugs at the Bowl.......2001-07-14

Oh what joy there is in Bugs Bunny. Santa Claus came down the chimney last Christmas and left a beautifully wrapped gift with my name on it underneath our Christmas tree. A CD? For me? Yes, it was. I listened entranced and recaptured so many happy memories of my favourite Chuck Jones characters, all brought vividly to life in George Daugherty's brilliant Bugs Bunny on Broadway. But that wasn't the end of my dreams come true. I was lucky enough to see Bugs brought to life again at The Hollywood Bowl. Rush out and buy this joyful CD - then do your utmost to catch a live performance when it's next in your city.

Product Description

"The Enforcer" was the third film of the five film Dirty Harry series, and the only of the films composed by the late composer Jerry Fielding. The other four films all boasted scores by Lalo Schifrin. Aleph Records, has also released the scores for the first two films of the series, "Dirty Harry" and "Magnum Force." The entire original score for "The Enforcer" has never been released, only excerpts from the score appeared on the original soundtrack LP.

"The Enforcer," of course starred Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry Callahan. The film also starred Tyne Daly as Inspector Kate Moore, his rookie partner. Callahan and Moore are on the hunt for a group of terrorists blackmailing the city of San Francisco. Though at first he is not pleased to be partnered with Moore, and in truth, Callahan s partners have not fared well in the past, Moore proves herself an able partner.

Composer Jerry Fielding had a long and storied career. He began in the 40s as a bandleader with his own television show and fell victim to McCarthysm, blacklisted from Hollywood in the 1950s. His return to Hollywood came in 1962, hired by Otto Preminger to compose the score for" Advise and Consent." He began working in episodic television, scoring episodes of both "Mission: Impossible" and "Star Trek." It was his work on "Noon Wine" that started Fielding s relationship with Sam Peckinpah, which would lead Fielding back to the big screen.

When Lalo Schifrin, composer of both "Dirty Harry" and "Magnum Force," was unavailable to compose the score for "The Enforcer," the job fell to composer Jerry Fielding. Fielding was perhaps best known for his collaborations with Sam Peckinpah, ("The Wild Bunch," "Straw Dogs," "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia") and Michael Winner ("Scorpio," "The Big Sleep," "Lawman"). For Fielding "The Enforcer" led to future collaborations with Clint Eastwood films like "The Outlaw Josey Wales" (his third and final Academy AwardTM nomination), "Escape From Alcatraz," and "The Gauntlet."

One of my favorites.......2007-06-18

Sarah Vaughan, wonderful to hear but to see her sing was the icing on the cake. The only live performer who could give me chills. I saw Ms. Vaughan right after the release of this album and she sang "So Many Stars" live. WOW If you like jazz or like Sarah this is the album for you. If you like them both, you better get this one. Glad it is available on CD.

I love this album.......2007-05-25

I recall reading a review of this recording quite some time ago wherein the reviewer had something bad to say about it. I don't recall who that reviewer was (and wouldn't bother to mention them by name, even if I did), but I can find no fault with this lovely record. If you like Sarah Vaughan, Brazilian music or both I think it is more than likely that you will really enjoy this one. If it's not your cup of tea, fine. If that's the case then I must echo the sentiments of Phil Collins and declare that you obviously have far too much taste and should, therefore, be bound with piano wire and forced to listen Demis Roussos records.

Absolutely Magnificent.......2006-03-08

I have always been a big fan of Sarah's music but when I heard her sing these songs I was blown away. This music fit her voice perfectly. Wanting more and So many stars literally put me in a trance.

An excellent romantic album.......2004-01-05

By the time Sassy recorded this album in 1987, the years of singing were beginning to catch up with her, so it is understandable that she decided to record an album of love songs. Sergio Mendes, a noted figure in Brazilian music, produced the album. The songwriters are unfamiliar to me but most of the songs were co-written by Dori Caymmi or Milton Nascimento, though these two never wrote any of these songs together.

The main musicians are George Duke (keyboards), Alphonso Johnson (bass), Dan Huff and Dori Caymmi (guitars), Carlos Vega (drums) and Paulinho Da Costa (percussion). Guest musicians are brought in as required to play flute, lyricon, tenor sax, alto sax, flugel horn, trumpet and acoustic bass. Backing all of these are a myriad of musicians playing violins, violas and cellos, together with a harpist. Despite all these musicians, the music is very relaxing and the most important instrument of all is Sarah's voice - still in fine form after all those years.

None of these songs are famous but I recognized the opener, Make this city ours tonight, as it was subsequently recorded by the brilliant British jazz singer Claire Martin in the nineties. It is likely that Claire learned the song by listening to this very album, although she recorded the song her way and the two versions are very contrasting. On this album, none of the songs stand out from the others very much, though perhaps my favorite is So many stars, one of only two songs not co-written by Dori Caymmi or Milton Nascimento - it was instead co-written by Sergio Mendes with Alan and Marilyn Bergman, who provided some classic songs for Barbra Streisand and others.

This is an outstanding collection of romantic jazz music with a Latin flavor, ideal for that candle-lit dinner or other romantic occasions, but enjoyable at any time.

better on cd.......2006-07-08

This is a great record. I have the old version on a record but the studio sound gets thru on the cd and kicks---.

Still good after all these years........................2005-04-30

I am listenting to my vinyl version of this right now for who knows how many times. And, it still thrills after 30+ years???? God, can it be that long. Well, whatever, this music still moves me with Hancocks keyboards and Wayne's beautiful sax in perfect sync with Milton's vocals. A masterpiece that can stand up in any music collection. If you have any appreciation of jazz or even pop vocals get this album. The music is beautiful and will make your heart feel swell.

Timeless Beautiful Soulful Music.......2003-12-29

Wayne Shorter is one of the great musicians of his generation. And Native Dancer is one of the finest and most beautiful works ever pressed into vinyl or burned into a disc. This is an all time great, a must for any admirer of Shorter or superstar Milton Nascimento.
Smart, incisive, Shorter plays with a measured balance of heart and head. His earliest music chronicles a young man's attempt to first sound as good as Coltrane, then with age, like himself. Shorter is one of those horn players instantly recognizeable. I heard Native Dancer for the first time as a freshman at college. I was a Shorter fan by then, both the early SHorter (Juju, Speak No Evil, etc.), as well as the later Weather Report work. I loved Airto, and played his Fingers album 24/7 when that came out.
But Native Dancer which includes Herbie Hancock playing with untouchable virtuosity and Milton singing all over the octaves, and Shorter's soprano sax loving, laughing, weeping -- well, it doesn't get much better. The music here goes deeply to one's soul..
It's odd. I don't speak a word of Portuguese, but everytime I hear Tarde -- and I've heard it a thousand times -- the words and the music break my heart.
Buy this cd.

Unique and beautiful songs.......2003-03-04

That mellow brazillian singing, Hancock's smooth Rhodes and
Shorter's soulful playing sound really fascinating together... Simply wonderful and mostly very laid-back.

An important bridge between Brazil & modern American jazz.......2002-08-30

A fairly solid commercial jazz album, from the height of the fusion days, this is the first of many collaborations between soprano sax player Shorter and the dreamy-spacy Nascimento. This album had a profound impact on the '70s jazz scene, introducing a more modern, non-bossa nova Brazilian sound into the experimentation of the time. Milton Nascimento performs on and contributes several songs, and although Shorter takes some interesting chances with Nascimento's material (particularly on the melodically-deflated version of "Lilia"), ultimately he seems to have lacked the compositional strength that would have made this a truly great album. As it is, it's a little goopy, and many of the songs lack true resonance.

Solid Milton Campbell Collection.......2007-06-19

Little Milton Campbell was a popular blues/R&B singer of the 60's and early 70's. This collection shows that he was a talented singer and musician, and while he was more R&B than blues, his songs often had the bluesy feel that one would expect from someone performing on Chess Records.

"We're Gonna Make In," ""So Mean To Me," "Man Loves Two,"" Who's Cheating Who?" and "We've Got the Winning Hand" and many of the other cuts on this record are entertaining and harken back to an era when the lines between blues and R&B seemed indistinguishable. This is an excellent collection.

better than expected.......2007-02-08

I bought the album for the song grits ain't groceries, however, the rest of the song are also great for the listeners who like 70's rock and blues music and should be added to collection. I like the album

Chess Record's R&B Star.......2006-05-21

Little Milton was a powerful, expressive singer with a silky baritone, and like Junior Parker and Bobby "Blue" Bland, he traffiked in bluesy r&b. He recorded for three legendary labels (Sun, Chess and Stax), enjoying his greatest success with Chess.

He recorded well into the nineties, and if you like what you hear here, 1990's 'Too Much Pain' comes highly recommended. (Don't miss the recent 'Stax Profiles', either.)

This collection is a generous cross-section of his sixties output for Chess, and it's good 'n greasy. Tracks like "We're Gonna Make It", "Blind Man", "More and More", "Let Me Down Easy", "Grits Ain't Groceries" and "Who's Cheating Who?" are meaty slabs of smoked-to-perfection, barbequed southern soul.

Unfortunately, some poorly-chosen tracks from 1970's 'If Walls Could Talk' close out this disc. Their arrangements are Vegas-style cheese, and Colin Escott notes in his essay that Little Milton's arranger, Billy Davis, left Chess Records in 1968 to join an advertising agency. It shows.

There are better tracks on 'Walls' than "Let's Get Together", "Poor Man's Song" and "Baby, I Love You" (his remake of Guitar Slim's "The Things I Used To Do" and Robert Parker's "Blues Get Off My Shoulder" are two), but no compilation is perfect, is it?

If you can get past the weak ending, forget about the napkins when you place your order. This is so good you'll want to lick your fingers.

A good overview of Little Milton's Chess sides.......2006-04-09

Little Milton Campbell arguably recorded his grittiest and bluesiest songs for Sun and Bobbin before signing with Chess Records in the early 60s; tough blues and R&B like "If You Love Me", "That Will Never Do", and "Lookin' For My Baby".

But he cut several excellent sides for Chess as well, as is evident on this 16-song compilation, an expanded version of the 1972 LP "Greatest Hits". Campbell's rendition of "Just A Little Bit" is marred by some of the most hideous organ playing I've ever heard on a Chess waxing, and is much lesser than Magic Sam Maghett's recording of the same song, and the horn section really goes overboard on a couple of numbers, but most of what's here is good or even great.
The swinging, melodic numbers "We're Gonna Make It" and "Who's Cheating Who", and the plaintive but gutsy "Let's Get Together" are among the best songs here; swaggering, three-minute, mid-tempo soul stompers performed with power and conviction.
The lesser-known "We Got The Winning Hand" is another highlight, as is the mournful slowie "Let Me Down Easy", Milton's smooth reading of Chuck Willis' "I Feel So Bad (I Shake My Head And Walk Away)", and of course the classic "All Around the World (Grits Ain't Groceries)".

Little Milton's Chess sides weren't really blues at all. There is some classy R&B here, but this is soul music first and foremost. Soul music with a bluesy edge which sets it apart from that of Chess Records' other soul singers, but soul music never the less.
But that's okay. I would have liked a bit more grit, sure, and MCA could easily have fitted another ten songs onto this disc. But what is here is certainly good early Chicago soul, and the late James Milton Campbell was an excellent, expressive singer and a fine guitarist.

Little Milton, A great blues singer who sings from his guts.......2005-07-15

My favorite songs on this gutsy blues singer's CD are Blind Man, Let's Get Together, and Let Me Down Easy. Listening to Little Milton takes me back to the 60's when we use to have rent parties for a whole weekend, and listen to blues singers while we cooked, partied, and sold food. Also brings back memories of sitting on the back porch at night in the summer, while Little Milton, Bobby Bland, Sam Cooke or some other blues singer from that era played on the record player. Milton's gut-wrenching singing is what I call "soulful blues".

BEMBE IS A YORUBA FEST.......2006-08-07

CONTAINS MOST OF THE ORISHAS CHANTS IN AN EXCELLENT RECORDING. THE CHORUS RESEMBLES THOSE IN THE YORUBA TRIBE IN ANCIENT TIME A MOST TO BUY.

MILTON CARDONA MAKES ME PROUD.......2005-09-12

MR.CARDONA STARTED OFF AS A BASS PLAYER IN NEW YORK CITY UNTIL HE SAW MONGO SANTAMARIA (REST IN PEACE) PLAYING IN THE STREETS OF NEW YORK, THE REST I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU. HE HAS A VERY SIMPLE, SINCERE WAY OF CHANTING THAT GETS INTO YOUR SKIN LIKE A LAXATIVE CLEANSING YOU OF ALL FILTH. IF YOU CLAIM TO LOVE THIS TYPE OF CULTURE WITHOUT HAVING BEMBE IN YOUR COLLECTION...YOUR FEET STINK AND YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN JESUS!!!

The Masterpiece of Masterpieces.......2005-07-05

This is truly one of the all-time great recordings of the 20th century. It captures the "Bembe" ritual from start to finish of the Santeria religion, from which much of Cuba's music derived. The percussion is driven by a trio of drummers playing the Bata drums - Iya, Omele and Okonkolo, which together conjure polyrhythms whose origins are distinctly African ... specifically Yoruban from what is now Nigeria. Any serious student of Afro-Cuban music *must* purchase this recording. And note the value of used discs (today listed at $69.99); this is a rare and much-sought-after recording that was once only available on vinyl. Get it while it's re-issued. Because it's bound to drop back out of print. And you'll have to pay a hefty premium.

In Praise to the Orisha.......2003-06-18

This is an incredible CD! The songs and rythms literally touch the soul. From a meditative standpoint the songs transport the listener on subconscious level--even if you don't understand the lyrics. Cardona is to sacred orisha music what Mahalia Jackson or Aretha Franklin was to Gospel--all soul, as true to form as you can get.

This is Orisha "gospel" with two of mankinds first musical implements-the voice and the drums.
