It's ironic that Youssou N'Dour coproduced Specialist in All Styles. After all, it was the emergence of N'Dour's upbeat mbalax music in the early '80s that hurried the passing of Orchestra Baobab, which had been the most popular band in Senegal for 10 years. Baobab's Afro-Latin blend was unique, but it sounded like fond memory next to the in-your-face mbalax. Following up the reissue in 2002 of the legendary 1982 album Pirates Choice, Baobab has returned to active duty after a 15-year hiatus. Specialist features many of the original members and recaptures the classic sound. The band revives great older Baobab songs like "On Verra Ça" and "Ndongoy Daara," brings in a few folk tunes, and rounds out the album with strong new material. "Homage A Tonton Ferrer" is a rollicking vocal tour de force featuring Cuba's Ibrahim Ferrer and N'Dour. Moreover, the band is tight throughout, with fantastic solos coming from guitarist Barthelemy Attisso and saxophonist Issa Cissoko. --Tad Hendrickson

Album Description

The reissue of Dakar band's 1982 world music classic Pirates Choice (early 2002), was a breakout success in the UK, Europe and the US. So much so, in fact, that the response sparked a reunion, a tour and a return to the studio to record Specialist In All Styles, the group's first new album in 15 years. 9 tracks. Slipcase. World Circuit. 2002.

Majestic music!!.......2006-07-20

I was only recently introduced to the music of Orchestra Baobab and what a fantastic discovery their music is!

Formed in Senegal in 1970, the group took its name from a nightclub they performed at, named after the Baobab tree found in the African savannah, and renowned for its majesty and endurance, qualities the band shares.

Their musical style sounds to me like a fusion of Cuban, and African Highlife music; loads of prominent melodic guitars, horns (especially explosive sax), and rich percussion. The lyrics (on this CD) are largely in Wolof and French, dealing with themes including anti corruption messages, a dying parent, and the importance of having integrity. However, music, especially this beautiful, is a universal language.

`Specialist In All Styles' is their first CD in 20 years, co produced by Youssou N'Dour, the album comprises 9 tracks - mostly reworked versions of their classics with a few new songs thrown in - with a rich, live (it was recorded live over 10 days) party feel to the sound. The CD comes in either a yellow cover (shown here) or blue.

Tunes range from the very rhythmic upbeat guitar driven opening cut `Bul Ma Miin', the downtempo `Sutukun' with lovely guitar licks, the very Latin sounding `Jiin Ma Jiin Ma', the gently shuffling `Hommage À Tonton Ferrer' features Ibrahim Ferrer & Youssou N'Dour, and the more upbeat Cuban sounding horn filled `El Son Te Llama'.

A beautiful CD, and a worthy addition to any music collection.

Cuban music with African vocal overtones .......2004-09-02

 Orchestra Baobob is an old band - they've been around well over 20 years, and the Latin tinge is both unusual and powerful, here, setting their music apart from competitors and creating a niche all their own.

Slightly Overrated.......2003-12-02

Unless this is your only O.B. album, there's some filler here. Hommage A Tonton Ferrer is essentially a shorter version (with different lyrics) of Utrus Horas, the first track on Pirates Choice, and the longer version is better played and more hypnotic. El Son Te Llama is a faster, shorter cover of the better-played version from On Verra Ca. (The original version, by the way, is also available on Putumayo Presents Afro-Latino, an excellent compilation.) The remaining seven songs are quite good and offer plenty of variety. One only wishes O.B. could have re-entered the studio, after so many years, with totally original material.

A legendary (if unknown) Senagalese band.......2003-07-20

I was visiting Quebec City in mid-July and Orchestra Baobab happened to be playing live at the Quebec City Music Festival. It was an extraordinary electric guitar/saxophone sound with soaring vocals. Although the crowd was French, the music was universal. Orchestra Baobab absolutely blew the doors off the joint. A great live experience based on material from "Specialist In All Styles." You won't go wrong listening to this music.

You Need This.......2003-07-07

I was exposed to the Orchestra a few months back, and I was blown away by the funky rhythms of this group. I recently saw them at the House of Blues in Los Angeles, and they gae such an amazing show -the music was basically from this latest album, but hearing them live let me know just how great a group like this is. The audience was the widest cross-section of people I've ever seen at a concert. From young black kids to middle aged French people to Senegalese and Nigerian, to Columbian and German!

African music is the root of all musical styles, and the Orchestra Baobab demonstrate that music is truly universal.

Tracks like Om Verra Ca sport some of the funkiest bass-lines this side of George Clinton, and even though you won't necessarily be able to understand the lyrics (in French or Waloof) the magical voices of the various singers transcend the listener to a state of pure joy.

If you listen to this and don't like, then I don't know what to say.

I've been expanding my listening to West African music, mainly through Black President Fela Kuti, but this is a welcome difference that we'll get you groove at the house party, the car or the club.

Good Deal.......2006-07-27

For $20 you get tons of ska, and not just one kind (like rock-steady or skunk). Plus it is kinda of like a sampler to find out about bands you hadn't previously heard of. If you are tired of the same old ska, or if you want to find some new great band this , or like ska at all then buy this.

Looking for good bands, here's the sampler.......2005-11-12

Megalith and Jump Up joined forces to compile this series. This should give anyone interested in 3rd Wave ska an idea of what the sound is all about. You may not hear them on the radio anymore (most of them not at all), but you'll be briefed on 88 bands, whom you can look up anywhere. I got this collection when it first came out. There are several bands I wasn't familiar with and have since started collecting thier CDs.

This is NOT a collection of Rancid clones. There is a broad spectrum of styles on this album, from old-school to mento, gospel to ska-core, neo-cumbia psychobilly to rock-steady to dance hall. Yes, there ARE bands doing this, from the past ten years and many are roughing it out despite the lack of commercial popularity of ska. There are songs I don't like (the Mighty Mighty Boss Tones track on this album is probably the most boring of all), but there are songs that have replenished my faith in musicians my age. Yes, there is a market for this, and I'm part of that small demographic. Please keep going, guys.

most amazing collection ever.......2005-03-01

This has got to be the best compilation ever created, of SKA or anything else. Every band in America (and the best from Canada too) are right here at your fingertips! I do a SKA show on the radio and I could fill my whole two hour block with this on shuffle and still please my audience 100%. Rock Steady SKA, SKA-punk, reggae jammin' SKA, Third Wave style, Second Wave style, even old school first wave sounding SKA, swinging SKA, acoustic SKA, one man band SKA, just plain SKA type SKA- you name the kind of SKA you like and it is in this collection. It is brilliant and incredibly low-priced. Please, help out the locals while sampling the mainstreamers at the same time, and check out this miraculous compilation of SKA music. It's a great price, and these bands need the money- so quit burning this stuff from your friends or wherever and help save SKA!

Who says SKA is dead.......2003-09-16

In a world where the mainstream is [bad] and the radio is unlistenable,there is the sanctity of punk/ska/psycobilly/whatever. Usually,when people see SKA! written on my knuckles or hear me humming a trombone rythmn, i get the "What does ska mean? is it short for sk8?" i just shake my head and say the only thing i can. "well,it depends, sum 3rd wave is like punk w/trumpets. the traditional ska is from jamaica and 2tone is from england in the 80's." they stare and go "whatever". Is this whats happened to ska? i hope not, and this is the cd to bring it back. It showcases the BEST of todays 3rd wave ska, from the skacore,to ska punk, to the very traditional ska. its got stuff for every1, w/4 cds and the lowest track listing being 20. a MUST BUY. A MUST!

The Twelve Gifts of Birth - Music.......2006-03-01

I have given numerous copies of the book as a gift to all my friends who are first-time grandmothers to give to their new grandchid and was unaware of the music that now can accompany the book. I love it! Such wonderful positive messages and great sing along - not only for children, but for adults too. I bought one CD for my grandchildren and then ordered five more for gifts for adults and children. If everyone grew up listening to these messages how wonderful it would be!

Great Music for Adults, Too!!!.......2004-11-25

This CD is wonderful. There is such a great mixture of styles and everyone can enjoy it! I actually cried because it was so beautiful...and I'm not a mushy kind of gal!! It's a must-have no matter if you have/work with children or not.

Music for everyone!.......2004-10-30

This CD, although especially good for children, is music for everyone to enjoy. The themes in the music remind us to be positive and kind people in a busy, hectic world. This CD deserves more attention!!!

A Breath of Fresh Air.......2004-09-29

This CD will entertain and stimulate you and your child for years to come. The melodies are captivating, and the rhythms are so enticing they will get your feet tapping and your hands clapping. The Twelve Gifts of Birth is a wonderful CD for all ages!

Beautiful Music.......2004-09-14

As a music educator, I highly recommend this CD and the book that it is based on. The music is powerful and inspirational, and it is easy for youth and adults to sing along together. It would be wonderful to have more quality music CD's such as this one...to replace the tired Raffi and other pop culture children's music icons.

there's so much great music out there and you sad sad people are listening to music devoid of any talent. Devoid of everything, in fact, except schmaltz and happy-clappy God-bothering. Whatever you think is good about this album (and even God doesn't know what there is), find some real music. Try 'Imagine' by John Lennon for a start

Tremendous. YEAH!.......2005-02-25

Great CD.

I love this Genie music.

THis is the best stuff for kids.

Unlike a lot of the other junk on the market, Scripture ROck really wows my family.

I like it even better than the old Schoolhouse Rock stuff.

Fraudulent!.......2004-09-21

I ordered this CD and "Scripture Rock" because reviews strongly implied it was the same folks who made "Schoolhouse Rock". It's not the same people at all! This music is awful! I really wish that I had checked the credits more closely before I wasted my money on this worthless drivel. It's not even useful for Bible study because my daughter refuses to listen to it at all! Shame on whoever is responsible for marketing these CDs. Now that I have looked more closely, the supposed connection between these CDs and "Schoolhouse Rock" is clearly trickery by those who stand to profit from "Scripture Rock". Depception is shameful and un-Christian. And on top of that, the music is terrible.

PLAYS GREAT!.......2004-07-08

THis CD totally rocks and plays great in my CD player!

My whole family is jumping all over the room!

GET IT!

GET SCRIPTURE!

GET ROCKED!

CD won't play in my player (CD-R?).......2004-04-07

This CD and another by the same artist will not play in my CD player which doesn't read CD-R's. When I play it in a boom box it will work. The songs just don't appeal to my children or our youth group. The song lyrics are well written but the tunes themselves are not catchy to the kids. They seem to like Colin Buchannan's Aussie Praise collection much better. Amazon doesn't sell it but cbd.com does. Great Effort though by this couple.

Messianic praise to God how great is that!!.......2005-10-08

The songs from the CD One From Many by Echad have a Jewish/Spanish flavor to the music. Song Echad speaks of Jewish/Christian unity in Yeshua/Jesus. Guitars and bongos add a unique beat to Messianic music. I really liked many of the songs. Baruch Sheamar is one of my favorites, a song that "Blesses" God. It has a smooth upbeat rhythm blessing God and singing of God's mercy. The female singer has a soothing voice with background singers echoing "Baruch" I really love it. Another favorite of mine is Eitz Chayim. The words "He is the tree of life". The beat is like Klezmer music it makes you want to dance like they did in Fiddler on the Roof. The song is cheerful with the flute, drums and guitar so Jewish so much fun. The art work on the CD is also touching with a Jewish man praying at the Wall (one of the songs). I recommend this CD for its soothing and prayerful affect it has when listening to it but mostly that it honors and praises the most high God.

Album Description

Jazz lost its way when people stopped dancing to it. Back in the 40's, Jazz was America's pop music. Then musicians got too hip, the playing got too far out, and the music left the groin and moved to the cerebrum. Big mistake. George Kahn's music covers a wide spectrum of jazz, from bebop to standards to funk to Latin to "smooth" jazz. The idea that holds it all together is that the groove comes first, last and always. The melody supports the groove. The solos stay in the groove. This music grooves - and you can groove with it.

Customer Reviews:

Previous reviewer makes good comments, but..........2007-02-21

this CD doesn't blow one away, but it is a nice effort. It does
have a good mix of songs and styles, and keeps the beat moving in
a straight forward, main stream jazz style. I picked it up for a song
and play it as background music with my family in the evening.
A nice CD, but nothing to write home about.

Cooking Red Hot With Heart & Soul!!.......2006-03-06

If you love piano with some sass and soul and a touch of sincerity then you are about to fall in love with the talent of George Kahn! He works his musical magic on this cd with the help of equally super-talented musicians Eric Marienthal, Bobby Rodriquez, Karl Vincent, and M. B. Gordy.

This is a very well-produced jazz experience. Wait until you hear Steve Wonder's "Don't You Worry "Bout A Thing". It will blow the top off of your head! "A Bop For Billy" cooks. Each musician is highlighted in this song. Feast your ears to the soulful tribute for Marvin Gaye with "I Heard It Through The Grapevine." Larry Koonse on guitar is so funky! Marvin would have been blown away! "Otro Tu#" is complexly gratifying...one of the finest compositions I have experienced! One listen will simply wow you. The number dedicated to Dave Brubeck "Midnight Brew" must have thrilled him. Tierney Sutton sings a gorgeous vocal on a special song "Out Of Time". Justo Almario adds jazzy variety with the flute on "Night Shadows". The finale (bonus track) is a swingin' tribute to John Coltrane called "12 Short Years".

This cd has everything from bop to soul to Latin sounds to smooth jazz. The sounds of each song flow sweetly into the next. If you can't experience George Kahn live, then this cd is a recommended treat. And a musical journey you will want over and over!

Album Description

MODERN CHRISTMAS CLASSICS IN VARIOUS STYLES - "Christmas Classics" because they are Christmas standards, generally dating from the 1950's and before. "Modern" and "in various styles" because BLITCH BANGO takes a few liberties in bringing them up to date. Song styles range from rock to reggae, new wave to new age, folk to cocktail jazz, but all with pop overtones, and all characteristically BLITCH BANGO.

Fun versions of familiar Christmas tunes.......2001-12-17

Standard Christmas tunes with some interesting twists. They obviously had fun producing these. You can hear the joy in the singer's voice. Different from the typical versions. Fun to listen to.

Real Music!!.......2005-05-14

Oh my God! This album sizzles. This is the true sound of music.
These guys have basicly encapsulated the true soul of Africa in an album. Be prepared to feel your heart dance around and soar with the vocals whilst the Guitar licks tell the hairs on the back of your neck to stand ERECT!! This music is a seamless fusion of Afro-Cuban Jazz and A West African music form called High-Life. The honesty of the music is distinct. This is a timeless album you will enjoy for life. I got mine! get yours!!!

Baobabs a blast.......2005-03-29

What is so appealing about this music cannot be pinpointed. Although I can't understand any of their lyrics I feel this band is somehow made up of freinds of mine who like to sing and play. I tag along to listen.They have somehow derived a sound and style that does what art should do- it enters you soul and gives you pleasure and reflection.
I first heard them on NPR and a few years later I remembered them and bought 'Pirates Choice' which lead me to 'Specialist In All Styles'. Well done lads.
