James Brown, In The Jungle Groove.......2007-01-10

CD was received within days after ordering. CD was in good shape.

gangstasoul.......2006-12-25

When the establishment bemoans the advent of gangsta rap and takes the moral (b.s.) highground in trying to say that rebellious music of their time was not so bad, this is a CD you can shove up their noses just to remind them that the joy of music and the despair of oppression has been around since J.B., since gospel, since plantation songs...but J.B. never made it all sound sooo funky.

I am amazed at what James Brown can pull off. This disc has some long jams, with little more than a single riff while James screams intermittently over it, and yet...that's all a great J.B. song needs. And this is some heavy J.B., something with a little edge to it, soul comign up like steam from the sewer, a little angry, but James isn't going to let all that bring the funk down. Just like the spliff he's putting together on the back cover, he's going to roll his own version and make it funky.

Obviously, a classic track on this is "Funky Drummer," a track that has been sampled from PE to LL Cool J to (no lie) Sinead O'Connor, but you'll be grooving to "Give It Up Or Turn It Loose" and "Hot Pants."

But don't think you'll just be getting down mindlessly. Well, you may, but J.B. is too smart for that. He's just got too much soul, and it stretches way back and way forward, putting himself square in the river of music man, and this album is genius for that.

It's James Brown's world, we just live in it..........2006-09-26

I bought this on vinyl when it came out in '86 and wore the groove right off it. Good thing CDs last forever. "Funky Drummer" must be the single most sampled song on the planet. Everybody in the world has used it, even Sinead O'Connor! The version of "Give it up or turn it loose" that appears on this is so good, it will make you want to slap your momma down! (In Southern parlance, that's damn good) If you listen to this CD, the "Star Time" box set and one or two of the "Live at The Apollo" CDs, you'll know that God exists, because James Brown was no accident.

Roll over, Beethoven.......2005-08-16

I am warning you right now, because I am right, and what I am about to predict will be true. That is why I'm posting my prediction at this fine archival space, where it can be viewed by all ages of the future.
In about 300 years from now, the people of the future will not have any interest in Elvis, or the Beatles, or Classical music, or anything that ever achieved #1 status on the charts.
In the future, James Brown will be regarded as the greatest musical talent and biggest genious in the history of the world. And this cd will be near the top of his shrine to greatness, along with "Hell", "Sex Machine", and "Funky People".

Outstanding Children's Recording.......2005-05-12

I'm a children's librarian and this CD is my all-time favorite since I discovered it 14 years ago! These are songs with humor and heart, with outstanding arrangements to boot. Great to listen to and even more fun to sing along. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Timeless favorite.......2003-02-20

When I was a little kid, my mother bought this on tape for my brother and me (it wasn't on CD then). I'm now 21 and still love all of these songs. We lost are tapes years ago, when my brother and I were teens, and never replaced them because we did not know that Joe Scruggs was still around. When I started to babysit and mentioned his name, I was shocked that my employer knew who he was. It was so fun to listen to all of the songs again.
My favorites were, and still are, Deep in the Jungle and Bahamas Pajamas (other CD). I loved Deep in the Jungle so much that when I was in an elementary after school program with my brother we put a skit together with this song and lip-synched to the song. We won first prize in the talent show.
This is one of the greatest CDs that you will ever buy for your children. When I become a mother (some day) I am definitely giving this to my children. The best part is that it's fun for the parents too. My mother listened to it just as much a we did, and she loved it. Even she still talks about it. I recommend this to anyone, young or old. Enjoy it!!

Deep In The Jungle Joe Scruggs.......2001-10-23

Excellent CD!! The matching video is great! Songs YOU can listen to and not get a migraine!!! The video is my kid's favorite!! (Ages 3&6 )

An Excellent Choice.......2001-07-17

My 4 year old daughter just loves Joe Scruggs and so do I. The music is upbeat and the lyrics are funny. It's a cd that we can listen to over and over without being annoyed. That's a good thing because my little one likes to hear it over and over again.

Deep in the Jungle.......2000-08-04

Deep in the Jungle is my favorite Joe Scruggs CD, although they are all fabulous. My favorite songs (being Mom) are By the Way and Skateboard. Hilarious! The kids love them too. Of course the kids like the title song but their other favorites are Put your Thumb in the Air and Rock and Roll McDonald Had a Farm. We just love Joe Scruggs and have ALL his CD's

Trout kicks a**!!!.......2007-03-08

Walter Trout has to be one of the most under-appreciated guitarist ever! His soulful playing makes him sound as if he is one with the guitar. Where has this guy been all my life LOL?
Dennis

Crank It Up!.......2006-12-10

My introduction to Walter Trout was via John Mayall's cover of the Trout-penned Life In The Jungle. And like the reviewer from New Zealand, I think Mayall's version is superior. That being said, I am glad that Mayall covered it else I might not have gotten to hear the music of Mr. Trout.
Before I bought any Trout recordings, I had the impression through articles I read about him that he is a blues guitarist. Well, he is, but not in the strictest sense. Much of this CD reminds me of the blues-rock of the early Allman Brothers Band. So Trout is as much about rock and roll as he is about the blues.
While the entire CD is pretty good, my favorites are Good Enough To Eat, the title cut, a searing Red House, and the duo of blues drenched tunes that close the album: Cold, Cold, Feeling and Serve Me Right To Suffer.
Life In the Jungle would be a hit at any party where good music is for more than just background noise. If you are one who enjoys the Allman Brothers, older Lynyrd Skynyrd, or even John Mayall, you are bound to like this. So crank it up and enjoy!

Great Album.......2006-11-03

This is a must-have album. I rarely write reviews but this album (and Walter Trout) simply cannot be ignored. Walter Trout is among the best guitarists in the world. What he does to his Fender Stratocaster should be outlawed! He effortlessly plays with amazing speed, accuracy and power. Pure and simple, he is a Guitar God, and you will play this album over and over..and loud! With so much trash being passed off as talent and/or rock and roll today, if you are looking for the real deal, then look no further. I grew up in the 60s and 70s with Zeppelin, Stones, Hendrix, Clapton, The Who, etc. and Water Trout is superior to all the lead guitrists from those bands. Yes, I love Jimmy Page and Led Zep, but Walter is better than Jimmy. There may never be another Jimi Hendrix, and with the exception of possibly SRV, I believe Walter Trout is better than any rock guitarist from the 70s and 80s. Eddie Van Halen could have possibly been one of the greats of all time but he wasted his life and is a shell of the rock giant he once was. I've been listening to rock for 40+ years, and with all due respect to the great bands of the 70s and 80s, none of them has/had a guitarist so polished and amazing as Walter Trout. Sure his band won't ever be as great as the super bands of the 70s, but his talent is so amazing it deserves a listen. Buy it and enjoy!

Guitarslinger delux.......2006-10-22

This is my first of more to come CD from Walter Trout. He is an a**kicking guitar player. He reminds me of SRV. His live rendition of Red House and his other two live songs are awesome. I hope he tours the US soon, as he is a must see for blues lovers.

Red House - Unbelievable!.......2006-06-20

Now, I haven't heard the album but I just bought it. I recently discovered Bluesville on XM radio and heard "Red House" late last week. I had to have it! I've heard some great guitar work but Walter Trout blows everyone (I've heard, anyway) away. I scoured record stores in town to come up with nothing. I'm getting the impression Walter Trout is bigger in Europe than here. Hopefully channels like Bluesville can increase awareness. I really was only a passing appreciator of the blues until I tuned in Bluesville a few weeks ago. I'm finding that it's not an acquired taste like jazz might be considered; you can just dump somebody into blues and they don't have any choice but to love it!

Great set of wartime rarities.......2003-05-14

Spike Jones was the king of the novelty song performers, with hits like "Der Fuehrer's Face" and the parody version of "Sheik of Araby" becoming huge hits during World War II. This is a swell 3-CD set, gathering a full eighty-one of Jones' best tracks from his 1940s heyday, drawn from an extensive archive of radio broadcasts made for the Standard Transcription service. The tightness of his City Slickers band is amply demonstrated in these manic, kookily orchestrated performances. Toots, squonks, blatts and bleats whiz by at lightning speed, as one daffy song after another will delight devoted fans. Amazingly, Jones had the unusual, almost unique ability to perform a repertoire almost entirely made up of comedic material, and yet still be quite listenable and engaging. His jazz chops were hardly in question, and from time to time Jones would dash off a non-novelty ballad or two, just to give the rubes something to think about. Of course, just as often he would perform a song that *sounded* like a straight ballad, but would turn out to be another goof. (One great example of this is the sultry "Serenade To A Jerk," sung in slinky, burlesque tones by Myrtle Horwin.) This collection may seem a little overwhelming, but like his studio recordings, these radio performances have a certain brilliance and joie de vivre about them that will leave you enchanted. Definitely worth checking out!

Standard Transcription Collection.......2003-04-12

This collection has remastered material from the large stack of Standard Transcription discs from the early 1940's. There are many songs not recorded on RCA, many on the theme of wartime ("48 Reasons Why"), and the quality is excellent. The packaging is threadbare but this is an essential CD package for true music lovers.

The inspired moods in which Morton Gould and his orchestra were inmersed when this recording was made was simply anthologic . Gould literally caught the perfect balance and the idomatism of Ernesto Lecuona , a cuban composer and author of Malagueña An emblematic song played for artists of the high of Paco de Lucia , Carlos Montoya , Jose Feliciano and the most famous orchestras of the world as Paul Mauriat ,or Frank Purcel .
This CD provides you a selection of well known and unknown pieces of that talented musician . It is a magnificent opportunity to know the high lyricism and latin flavour of Ernesto Lecuona .
Bravo for Morton Gould!

Appeals to students who don't even like classical music.......2004-04-23

This is a great collection of classical music enjoyed by all types of music lovers. A good introduction to classical music for students who have never been fans of classical music. I highly recommend it for everyone.

This material is worth more than a casual listen.......2001-01-09

In the 50's and 60's one of the biggest artists on RCA Red Seal was Morton Gould and his Orchestra. Recording staples like Grand Canyon and Billy the Kid kept the record company in the spotlight, but occasionally the conductor was able to do what he wanted. These were produced as Jungle Drums in 1955 and More Jungle Drums in 1964 Gould wrote the transcriptions of these piano pieces for these releases. RCA has digitalized the originals and presented them here as a set. The recording quality is first rate and packaging with information on the composer is welcome. This is a wonderful CD to experiment with to discover composers that are not in the mainstream. Well worth the discounted price here too.

This was a very unique item. Fans of the series will enjoy it. At times some of the tracks seem out of place when out of the game, but that's more than made up for by the many powerful and classic tracks that these CD's have. The first CD is more techno-inspired while the second is more operatic. It's good music to do push-ups to or to drive to. Especially the first track of the first CD.

Delightful Disney Music.......2007-03-28

These Disney tunes done in the style of classic composers are so much fun. Children and adults alike will enjoy these songs over and over.

Uncle Walt would be quite honored!.......2006-12-20

For many a baby boomer, Walt Disney meant animation. But, besides that, music played an important part in the telling of the story. So interested in music was the animator that he fashioned one of his greatest triumphs ("Fantasia") on the works of the great masters.

Well, Donald Frasier and a bevy of musicians have compiled a wonderful collection of interpretations of familiar Disney tunes, many from Walt's time, along with a few latter day compositions.

Every selection is a winner, destined to make the listener reflect and recall the films from which they came. And if one is familiar with composer whose musical style is "copied" here, the album is a treasure.

Fabulous CD.......2006-10-04

Being a classical music connoisseur, I often listen to my local public classical radio station to hear the works of the great composers of old and of today. One day the station played "Colors of the Wind" and announced it was from this CD. I fell in love with it. I am a huge Disney fan who has over 350 Disney songs on my iPod. Pretty much the only music I listen to is either classical or Disney. And having them combined makes this CD euphoria for the ears.

Each song is in the style of a different classical composer, and usually in the style of one of their more specific songs. One with a trained ear will hear chords and melodies in almost perfect similitude of the original.

I can listen to this CD over and over and never get bored. How could you be bored when you're hearing all of your favorite old Disney songs in a new exciting way?

sleeping to Disney.......2006-07-30

I am really pleased that there is a classical music cd that has only Disney classics so that I can play them for my infant daughter while she sleeps. We are big Disney fans and it's fun to play these instead of the regular classical music. They sound just like the original songs. I would have given 5 stars but I wish they would have had all instrumental music, one of the songs has a choir singing, but it still sound good.

this is a treasure.......2003-05-11

Disney music is always uplifting. Classical music is beautiful. Combine the two - and you get THIS! "Colors of the Wind" is glorious, followed by the enchanting title track. "Beauty and the Beast" is true to the romance of the original. "The Second Star to the Right" is magical. Everything is awesome - and flawless. I initially bought this because I love The Main Street Electrical Parade music, and that is definiely a highlight here - but so are ALL the other songs! This is GOOD STUFF! It is so excellent that it can be a very beneficial introduction to classical music - for kids AND adults.

EPICS THAT DO NOT DISAPPOINT.......2007-05-14

WHAT A BRILLIANT IDEA TO TAKE HOLLYWOOD'S COLLECTION OF HISTORICAL EPIC MOVIES, EXTRACT THE BEST PORTIONS OF THE SCORES AND COMBINE THEM FROM THE DAWN OF MAN TO THE RECENT PAST. I PARTICULARLY ENJOY THE SUITES FROM GLADIATOR, BRAVEHEART AND THE VIKING. THE REPRODUCTION OF THESE SCORES BY THE CITY OF PRAGUE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS IS BRILLIANT, AND THE RECORDING WAS EXCELLENT. I ONLY WISH THERE WERE EIGHT DISCS INSTEAD OF FOUR TO COVER THE VOLUMES OF SCORES THAT COULD NOT BE INCLUDED. LET'S HOPE FOR A VOLUME II.

Interesting selections . . ........2006-12-15

This compiiation album makes an excellent gift for that person wanting to discover great, epic scores. I'm surprised, however, that Vangelis' Alexander is included in this one. Not bad, just surprised.

The reason I give this album 4 out of 5 stars is because of the swashbuckler section. How is it that CutThroat Island - one of the greatest epics in history - was scrubbed out of the list? Pirates of the Caribbean is included on the selection but nothing from Debney's masterpiece?!

Yes, that is a huge compilant. If you haven't discovered CutThroat Island, I suggest you get it then you'll understand my frustration. Still, this album is a great buy and worth looking into!

When I think of the "Golden Age of Hollywood", many composers come to mind...you gave the usher your ticket in the theater and sat down, knowingly you were going to get your moneys worth...when the curtain opened and you heard those first few notes...you sat back, watched and listened as the film score and orchestra worked their magic...now we have the ultimate from Silva Screen Classics "EPICS:THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD ACCORDING TO HOLLYWOOD", featuring a four disc set of the essential film scores of the past 60 years...covering several decades right and up to the present 2005.

There are compilations and then there are "Compilations" beginning with a classics that even the youngsters today recognize...sweeping scores that capture the drama, mystery, adventure, action and romance...one great cue after another, it doesn't get any better than this...many nominated and winners by the Academy for Best Original Score...

Pouring their jazz out of a postmodern blender, Medeski Martin & Wood reference Sly Stone, King Sunny Ade and John Coltrane on the same album; Thelonious Monk and Bob Marley in the same song ("Bemsha Swing-Lively Up Yourself"). And it works: By turn funky ("Beeah," "Shuck It Up") and avant garde ("Worms"), thoughtful ("Moti Mo," "Sand") and over-the-top ("Where's Sly?"), MMW know that for music to matter, it must reflect its time--and "to entertain" is not an evil verb phrase. This piano/organ, bass and drums trio (joined here by top-flight special guests on brass, woodwinds and guitar) is the voice of Future Jazz--and you can hear it now. --Suzanne McElfresh

My Favorite MMW.......2006-06-17

I recently bought this album recently after trying to complete my back catalog on this band, and I was very impressed when I got to "It's a Jungle in Here". I think it is a prime example of what makes the trio great, and it distinguishes itself because of the great piano lines strewn throughout the music. I think it actually accentuates the music without overpowering it.

This is something that was missing a bit in more recent MMW albums as a straight up piano has been pretty much absent (until the recent "End of the World Party (Just In Case)"). The piano really makes the jazz stand out. Of course Martin and Wood are great here as always, although as an older piece of work, you won't hear the experimental tendencies that have become the norm.

I love the album though as it really expands on the variety that I've known MMW capable of as well as their appreciation of fine Jazz (i.e. Bemsha Swing by T. Monk).

These guys can do no wrong for music.......2006-03-13

3 1/2 stars

Exploring their hybrid jazz sounds from every percievable angle, M,M ,and W can only be accused of going too far into their tweaking and articulating of various themes, thereby undermining the overall theme of the song and album..That seems to be the only roadblock standing in their paths to creating a true masterpiece album, as they are the type of people that simply Cannot record a dull note...Blessed is the musician who balances out the far more overwhelming emptiness of souless, uninspired compositions!

great example of a new evolution in jazz music.......2006-01-01

its a jungle introduces you to one of the fastest evolving groups of this time. although this album was recorded with the most conservative instrumentation of any MMW album, on IAJIH MMW showcase their ability to reform the "organ" trio with liquid rhythms and virtuoso musicianship. the music on IAJIH projects a standard jazz feel, but beautifully combines bebop, stride, swing, rock, funk, free, and lounge styles into an impressive jazz fusion which creates a basis for MMW's futuristic sound. If your at all intrigued by the more recent experimental MMW albums, try this one out, and you will better understand the roots of this incredible trio. 5 stars easy, a groundbreaking work in the world of jazz.

All that Jazz.......2005-03-25

I was totally blown away by this album. I like the use of horns in early MMW. "Where's Sly", "Shuck it up", and "Wiggly's Way" were my favorite tracks on the CD, the latter being a very perfect end to the album. Get this album, nuff said.

A good song collection.......2002-08-15

The song 'Where's Sly' was my first introduction to Medeski Martin and Wood. It remains a favorite of mine. This CD is a very good listen, with the band in fatback groove mode. Check out the medly of 'Lively Up Yourself' and 'Bemsha Swing.' The humor and musicianship of this band is amazing. They always remind me that jazz was originally dance music.
