| | In Harmony CD (8 Customer Reviews)
A charming record that is sure to strike an amiable chord among children's audiences and all ages. Sesame Street released "In Harmony" as an effort to bring together an all-star cast of talented musicians known for their commercial appeal during the late '70s. The album opens up with a beautifully spun and delightfully crafted poem/song, "Wynken, Blynken and Nod," words by Eugene Field with melody by Lucy Simon. Sailing off to a sea of dew one starry night are the fisherman three, fishing for the herrin' fish, "nets of silver and gold have we," sing the Doobie Brothers. Catchy and sincerely ethereal, the tune is worth a listen time and time again. Cornelius Bumpus adds extra sugar to the tune with radiant flute and saxophone leads. Singer/songwriting sensation James Taylor puts a charge into the chorus of a "Jelly Man Kelly," a man who makes a feast of anything jelly. Taylor also adds dazzling guitar work to Carly Simon's pleasant vocals in "Be With Me." Star soloist Bette Midler combines her talents with Bruce Roberts and Carole Bayer Sager to create the sassy "Blueberry Pie." Sesame Street creators Frank Oz and Jim Henson touch on the issue of sharing with Ernie and Cookie Monster. Songs by Al Jarreau, Linda Ronstadt, and Libby Titus are also featured, with an entire plethora of singers and crafty backing musicians. This record is pure project-oriented in the highest sense of the word. A symbol of craftiness and musical charm, the musicians and featured singers seemed to not shy away from bringing out their innermost talents to grant young listeners a treat. The families of James Taylor and Carly Simon graciously put much effort into "In Harmony," and the whole cast finishes the record with simplicity and exuberance in the tune "In Harmony." Blending a rich tapestry of lushly recorded, beautifully textured vocals, the singers continue to sing "In Harmony" over and over until the record fades out. Perhaps this was a record created and intended for kids, but it also touches on subject matters of greater depth that parents can certainly relate to, such as peace, hope, love, sharing, and harmony. ~ Shawn M.

In Harmony Music Review Average Rating: (4.6 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Wonderful Memories
This perticular album was a favorite of my two oldest daughter now 32 and 34. I never had a chance to play it for my 3rd youngest who is now having a grandchild I can share such great children songs. To this day I still sometimes hear the older girls humm these songs so many years later.

 Kids of all ages will enjoy the music
James Taylor at his finest, Carly Simon and sister Lucy are awesome. Al Jareau, The Doobie Brothers and others really put it down on these selections. Kids of all ages from the cradle to the grave will find themselves humming or singing out loud a few of these tunes. Jelly Man Kelly and Pajamas are my personal favorites while my 11 year old daughter loves Winken, Blinken and Nod.
I encourage parents of all ages to buy this CD for yourselves as well as for the children in your lives.

Back In Our Lives
Like other reviewers have shared, this wonderful compilation of music was hummed, danced to, memorized and adored many years ago by our family. We have now been blessed with a little beauty girl who at two loves to dance and sing. Cherishing her joy we were reminded of our cassette tape 'In Harmony' that went with us everywhere and knew we had to track down a CD version. There will be a few purchased for friends and the rest of the family to enjoy. I don't think these gifts will wait until Christmas! Keep singin' and dancin'.

We just found this album a few months ago. Our grandchildren, 4 and 10 listen to nothing else in the car. They have all the songs committed to memory and just love to sing along. And the music is so great that we don't mind listening to it over and over.
When it comes to music for your kids, it is not going to get any better than this. A true classic.

It has been twenty years since I have heard this album--and I cannot get the songs of this, or In Harmony II out of my head now that I am a mom! I finally bought the iTunes Livingston Taylor "Pajamas" to play for my kiddos--and now I am DELIGHTED to find this album on CD b/c I no longer have a turntable to play my old vinyl album!! Vunderbar--the BEST! Catchy, creative, funny--but not frenetic like a lot of children's music out today. This is a genuine CLASSIC!

L. A. - based guitarist Chris Mello’s brand new release “THE GLOBAL VILLAGE” delivers a spectacular musical journey that embraces the guitar as the centerpiece within a tapestry of global musical influences from Cuba to Brazil to Africa. These ten original compositions explore fresh new points of the “musical compass” while still delivering an unparalleled level of spontaneity, interaction, and virtuosity that one would expect from a modern jazz recording. Fusing the infectious rhythms of Latin/South America with the elements of jazz, Mello creates compositions with memorable melodies, lush harmonies, coupled with some truly irresistible grooves. His playing here has redefined and reshaped the role of the guitar beyond the traditional limits of “Latin Jazz”. Each of the ten tracks offers an opportunity for a fresh and new musical discourse in groove and style. “Rumba Para Zaza” explores Cuban rumba through a thoroughly more modern approach. “Preguntas” offers a new take on the vibrantly ...
