review on something's gotta give.......2007-07-17

I loved this movie because of the music.
The soundtrack is awesome, it's really cool jazzy romantic,
live in a house by the beach music.
Also, if you like Paris, you will love it more!

Super.......2007-01-24

Loved the film. Loved the CD.
Set the table for two with candles, wine, and French food. Then, let this CD set the rest of the mood for a romantic evening.
The songs are varied between cheesy (but lovely) French and basal soul. Just enough variety to keep the listener listening throughout the entire CD. Definitely a compilation to relax with . . . or listen while driving to ease road rage.

FABULOUS French combo CD!.......2007-01-10

I have looked for the perfect CD that creates a French mood. There is quite an enjoyable variety of French Samba and American classics. This was wonderful! I recommend it!

50+ and more impetuous than ever.......2007-01-09

I love the movie and the sound track. Like the movie the music is enchanting, whimsical, and takes me to Paris and lightens my spirit each time I listen to it.

Soundtrack for Something's Gotta Givge.......2007-01-05

Great CD, I loved the movie and really like the soundtrack. I would recommend purchasing it if you liked the movie or even if you haven't seen the movie.

Bravo Maesto Benoit!.......2005-10-12

"Orchestral Stories" is truly a departure for Mr. Benoit, who has been known as an innovator and leader in the genre of Smooth Jazz. On this album, he displays his considerable talents as a composer, arranger, conductor as well as a pianist. The end result is a wonderfully thoughtful, creative, and memorable album that illustrates Mr. Benoit's incredible musical gifts.

The album begins with three pieces. Written in the wake of the World Trade Center disaster, "9-11" conveys a quiet strength that offers in it a sense of hope and renewal. "Something's Gotta Give" is a bit more tender and bittersweet, with a soul-searching quality. "LAXperience" creates a robust and dramatic mood which far outshines the pylons at LAX (which this piece was intended to characterize). Rather, this piece seems more appropriate to enhance the majesty of a spectacular IMAX film.

The next two compositions were recorded with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra. "The Centaur and The Sphinx", described as "a short fable", is a lovely, magical tale with a poetic grace. "The Party" is a joyful, jaunty piece midway through, and features Mr. Benoit's trademark keyboard work. The story surrounding "Kobe" is both tragic and amazing. The liner notes describe in great detail the story of Ms. Keiko Kimura who lived through the atomic bomb, the Kobe earthquake, and other personal tragedies. The music goes a long way to help tell this remarkable tale.

In "Orchestral Stories", Mr. Benoit redefines himself to his listeners by showcasing his talents and passions previously unheard on his prior albums. I hope his fans will appreciate this very special album as much as I do.

For those inclined to find out more information about this album, check out Mr. Benoit's interview on www.smoothviews.com (October 2005) and on Smooth Jazz TV at: www.smoothjazztv.com/video/DBenoit_EPKV1.wmv

Renaissance Man.......2005-09-14

Orchestral Stories is a much awaited (well, by me, at least) showcase of orchestral compositions written by Benoit in the past few years; it contains 5 pieces, the longest being the final suite "Kobe" which runs shortly under 30 minutes. Orchestral Stories signifies a major departure from Benoit's usual smooth jazz fare, but I guess a better way to put it is that it shows us his compositional talents that we've all grown to love in a brand new light -- a light that we may not be so familiar with or only have had notions of. After all, Benoit frequently finds ways to sneak his lush arrangement prowess into his prolifically successful albums; even the arrangment of his ballad "Dad's Room" off of Professional Dreamer was recognized as being Grammy worthy. The fact is, in addition to Benoit's jazz career, he has also been an active figure in composition and arrangement for soundtracks, musicals, and straight-up classical music.

Should you be excited? As a Benoit fan, I think so! But be forewarned: upon a first listen, you may be surprised to discover Benoit's most complexly arranged pieces to date, as well as some of the most challenging and emotional music he's offered in his career. But, stripping away the surprise, you will find what you've probably heard in his music all along: gorgeous melodies, sheer beauty, rousing drama, and a respect for his pioneering musical forefathers. Along with Pat Metheny's latest offering, The Way Up, Orchestral Stories demonstrates the possibility of crossing over contemporary jazz into the arena of more involved, long form pieces.

Like his semi-suite American Landscape, Benoit's programme here lingers between themes of melancholy and hope; so be prepared for an emotional ride. Benoit's dedication to the victims of 9-11 is, I feel, a healing song plain and simple, that does so effectively by echoing the warm, sentimental overtones of his characteristic compositional style; this opening piece will probably seem the most "Benoit" sounding to listeners. The performance of the orchestra(s) on this album is immaculate as are the soloists, including Benoit on most pieces, and Eric Marienthal wailing on the soprano here. Deeply effectual, 9-11 demonstrates the consideration put into the writing here.

Something's Gotta Give is part of a soliloquy for a musical about Marilyn Monroe, undertoning her despair and sadness; this gentle piece is reminiscent of jazz tinged musicals like Porgy and Bess. By the way, Benoit does his own nod to Gershwin with his rendition of "I Loves You Porgy" on "Great Composers of Jazz." I could only imagine that he's done his reading (and listening) when it comes to this context.

Of course, we're just getting warmed up. LAXperience, an interpretation of LAX architecture and LA's people, is probably the most wholly upbeat piece on this album, featuring a dizzying array of 16th note passages against a backdrop of fierce horns and percussion, and a clustered sonic sensibility reminiscent of 19th and 20th century American composers such as Aaron Copland. Benoit's compositional acrobatics surprised me here as well, as the music takes all the fun complexity he folded into tunes like "Houston" and "Beach Trails" and amplified it about 10 times. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is some very mature composing here.

The lovely "Centaur and The Sphinx" is the first of two multi-part suites on this album, and further demonstrates Benoit's deftness as programmic soundtrack music (as well as some astoundingly virtuosic concerto piano passages by Mister D B himself). The story behind the piece is described in liner notes, a whimsical fable about a Centaur and a Sphinx falling in love. Part 4, "The Party" is notable for bringing in drums and bass and gearing up the orchestra for a really swinging time; the shift is organic and not choppy at all, and the overall effect actually makes you feel like you're at "the party", hors d'ourves and all.

The finale is the magnum opus "Kobe", a thirty minute suite illustrating a Japanese woman's perserverence through tragedy multiple times in her life, and finally gaining the will to live because of her desire to help others the way others have helped her. As you may guess, there are some truly trepidating sections, only to be juxtaposed with rousing and hopeful choruses, as Benoit pulls out all stops and cards, striking up emotion from the orchestra in a profound way. On top of that are koto and shakuhachi soloists, making this piece a blend of traditional Japanese music, Gershwin like themes, and a wide array of orchestral styles. Benoit's advanced musical understandings are subtly wrought out throughout the piece.

Gorgeous, thematic, and meaningful. That's what Orchestral Stories is. I don't expect Benoit to be coming out with another one of these soon, but let's hope that, in addition to his smooth jazz offerings, his name will figure more and more prominently into the music we will hear in movies and theater; he truly is a musical renaissance man.

A real talent.......2004-09-26

Shown Pittman is another of the many "music business" mysteries. He is, without any doubts, a very talented guitar player and a very good singer too despite his young age (and this is not a minor plus!). Never than less he is very much overlook by every blues critics, so that, even Amazon does not have all his recordings in its (to be fair) impressive blues catalogue. Two very strong albums have followed this CD (this is his second one) but they are self-produced and only available on Shawn's web-site. I strongly believe that blues desperately needs new talents able to reinvigorate the music style being, at the same time, faithful to the masters of the past. Well, Shawn is, from my point of view, one of them. He is, together with Sean Costello, probably the best "young" blues guitarist around. After his impressive, beautiful, debut album he confirmed with this one that he might be (I really think that he will be) one of the major stars in the blues business one day. Just listen to his cover of the all time classic "Something To Remember You By" or to the closing acoustic number "That First Drink" and I am sure that most of you would agree with me. A fantastic blues album that shouldn't be missed by any blues fan.

ANOTHER ASTONISHING NEWCOMER.......2004-09-10

Great songs, great playing and consistent throughout. Not one dud track. SHAWN has a great voice and knows how to write and deliver some killer blues tunes. Definetly one to watch. One of the best of the new talents in BLUES.

Shawn Pittman w/ Susan Tedesche &Double Trouble, Antone's.......2000-02-14

Shawn Pittman showed up at Antone's Anniversary Party with Susan Tedesche & Double Trouble.(June 99) I felt so lucky to be there. They were all just awesome, I've been looking to add Shawn's 2 CD's to my blues collection ever since. KOOL

Dazzling blues album -- exceptional playing and writing!.......1999-09-13

I first heard Shawn Pittman at a club in Chicago a week ago. I purchased this CD between sets at the performance and have had a hard time listening to anything else, since. What a surprisingly great CD! Pittman combines exceptional song writing with dazzling guitar work and soulful vocals to create a compilation of tunes that get stronger with each listen. Pittman's CD is far more restrained than his live performance -- where his incredible guitar-playing prowess is the highlight -- but he does a masterful job of changing paces and mixing song structures, which makes the CD so effective. From the opening title track, through the angst-filled, acoustic-blues finale ("I Try to Stay Dry") -- Pittman takes you on a stylistic tour that is nothing short of a blues power house!

Excellent followup to "burnin up"cd.......1999-06-28

Shawn Pittman's timing and phasing with lyrics on this 2nd cd have acknowledged his strong vocal talent. This album with original songs gives him and the band room to stretch their talents musically and emotionally with some of their best work to date. Shawn's guitar tone is fat and thick thoughout the album without being overbearing or too long on solo's. The bass and drummer lay down a solid foundation for Shawns tasteful guitar work. This 2nd cd is a must buy!

One more beautiful soundtrack by Alfred Newman with bonus Johnny Mathis.......2007-01-04

Though one may not recognize `The Best of Everything' as one of those best of the best among the Hollywood films, there is something different here and it's simply the original soundtrack by the late Alfred Newman.

One of those soundtrack craftsmen, the king of `leitmotif', Mr. Newman proves once more his inspiration and technique in what may be related to music for films.

Interesting to feature the beautiful Johnny Mathis rendition for the main title, which became a smash hit single for Mathis in 1959. This CD offers two versions by Mathis, including a rare single version.

thug muppet.......2004-09-22

I feel pretty foolish for waiting so long to buy this album, I mean Jesus, it's Mr. len, and Kimani, how could this suck. I think it's because of some of the reviews I read in the past, I got the feeling it was more of a comedy album or something. While there are some damn funny moments here, there are some serious bangers as well. Check "Timmy", "Insomnia 411", and my personal favorite "Maybe". If your like me and have been meaning to buy this but always seem to pick up something else you think you'd like more, do yourself a favor purchase this gem.

Best Hip Hop Album of 2003.......2004-04-19

In a word: AMAZING! This album is one of the most complete records I have heard in a long time. The album gets started with a great intro "Droppin Crazy Science Yo." I generally don't like intro, outros, or skit...they're usually just filler. But this is a laugh out loud skit/song poking fun of mainstream rap songs. From there the album just gets better. Perhaps one of the best songs ever is "Insomnia 411" featuring Slug and Jean Grae. The beat is ridiculous...a 4 chord piano underneath a pulsing bass line. The lyrics dropped by Kimani, Slug, and Jean are heartfelt and express raw emotion. There is probably more emotion on the chorus than on any R&B album out there. This album covers everything from the state of hip hop to love to being jacked by Kurt Loder! Do yourself a favor and open up your mind and ears to this album...you won't be disappointed!

One of my favorite new albums.......2004-04-08

This is one of the most slept on LPs of 2003. Len and Kimani come together to put a less serious, but very critical album. Kimani raps about everything from love, to making fun of underground hip hop. This album is a new-classic and should be bought if you are a hip hop head.

It's Yosh's Fault!!!!.......2004-03-10

This would be the best album ever but Yosh ruined it. He's this MC outta D-Town and he just ruined the tracks. Everything he touched turned to nothing...All I'm saying that I think everyone should wear shirts saying how much we hate his raps and his voice. Then maybe he wont be featured on the next rap. Word.

Excellent CD Favorite hip-hop of the year........2004-03-09

Kimani from Masterminds and Mr. Len from Co flow get together to make one hell of a record. Funny and serious with good beats and great flows. Catchy choruses. Word. Also features slug.
