Checkfield's first studio effort in close to a decade, Music from Everglades National Park was worth the wait -- the music captures not only the natural splendor of the park itself but also the culture which has risen around it, evoking the spirit of the South and even Cuba through cinematic textures and rhythms. ~ Raymond McKinney
Recorded at The Digital Barn, Fallbrook, California. Includes liner notes by Rob Roy.

Music From Everglades National Park Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Dreamy, lovely, delicious
The players on this album are some of the finest in the San Diego area, and whether together or in other combinations, they consistently produce music that's just plain beautiful. Never sappy, like so much of the "new age" music out there today. Playful, loving, wistful, contemplative --- just a few of the words I'd use to describe this collection of tunes. I can't recommend this highly enough.

Music From Everglades National Park album
 $10.95 
Acoustic Alchemy's appealing mix of subtle world rhythms, improvisational steel and nylon string textures, and crisp pop and new agey melodies practically defined smooth jazz in the genre's early days. When co-founder Nick Webb -- who passed away in February 1998 from pancreatic cancer -- took his final turn for the worse just as recording was about to begin, longtime band accompanist John Parsons, a steel string master in his own right, stepped in. Fortunately, Parsons and Carmichael work up a striking chemistry of their own on Positive Thinking. Webb and Carmichael's final compositions feature recall some of their most beloved songs; the opener "Passionelle" begins with a sparse, gently percussive dual-strumming segment, building gradually in intensity before the ...
| | Steve Cole Between Us CDs (2000)
Music From Everglades National Park CD music
$8.89
Fast becoming one of smooth jazz's hookiest songwriters, Steve Cole scored two number one radio hits off his 1998 debut, Stay Awhile. No doubt that program directors will continue to favor those tunes, but hopefully it won't be at the expense of the takes-one-listen-only-to-hum craftsmanship of many of the tracks on the follow-up, Between Us (Atlantic). ...

Music From Everglades National Park music CDs

ELIXIR was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Performance.
Fourplay are the reigning champions of urbane sophistication, bringing a sublime sense of form and interplay to the contemporary jazz genre. Taken as individuals, Bob James, Lee Ritenour, Nathan East and Harvey Mason are among the most persuasive, engaging improviser/arrangers in all of popular music, with scores of hit albums behind them as producers, leaders and sidemen.
Taken as a whole, Fourplay elevate the quiet storm aesthetic to a new level, with a deep, slinky groove and an innate sense of the appropriate instrumental color. Consider how the title track sets the tone for the remainder of ELIXIR. Distant keyboard colors swirl about as West and Mason enter with a phat, pliable, bottomless groove. Guitarist Ritenour snakes in and out with latin effects and subtle chords, as keyboardist James essays the theme; the guitar soon returns for the chorus with a darkly articulated, romantic secondary theme. The mentholated instrumental jaunts serve only to deepen the groove, as Mason's crisp backbeat floats up to meet them.
The production values on ELIXIR are phenomenal, thanks to the larger than life soundstage of engineer Don Murray. The bottom end is enormous but clear as a bell, every electronic nuance captured with the transparency and detail of an acoustic instrument--listen to the swirling interplay between bass and keyboards, Ritenour's Wes Montgomery-styled solo lines and octaves, and Mason's propulsive syncopations on the dreamy "Dream Come True," the funkified "Play Lady Play" and the latin R&B swing of "Magic Carpet Ride." Fourplay also take their soulful ...
| | Frank Sinatra Songs For Swingin' Lovers! CD (1956) Remastered
Music From Everglades National Park songs
$9.74  
All tracks have been digitally remastered using 20-bit technology.
Recorded on October 17, 1955 and on January 9-17, 1956. Originally released on Capitol. Includes liner notes by Pete Welding.
When Sinatra teams up with conductor/arranger Nelson Riddle, you know the results are bound to swing, and swinging is what this brash, jazzy and very upbeat album is all about. Though the Chairman has staked his claim as the preeminent saloon singer, telling tale after tragic tale of love gone awry, this album represents the sunny side of Sinatra. He is bold and energetic here. His undeniably authoritative readings of songs like "I've Got You Under My Skin" and "You Make Me Feel So Young" MAKE them into standards, no matter who has sung them before.
Riddle's orchestrations are subtle but powerful, and SWINGIN' LOVERS finds Sinatra's voice bouncing off punchy horn stabs and floating gently along sweet rivers of woodwinds. One of the most impressive aspects of Sinatra's talent is his control over the tone and shape of his voice. His singing is expansive and fluid-sounding, ...

This is limited edition and usuaully sells out quick - pick one up while you can!!Review from Headchange's Smack Chat by Malcolm Tent:Finally got 'round to listnin to this thing:Cover Art: Excellent, scary and beautiful at the same time, makes you stare at it like, what the fuh...?Radio DJ-style format: Great idea, adds continuity & a communal vibe to these widely varied tunesBest Songs:1) Rebecca Lynn "Look Down" Real emotion here. The person who wrote this is awake, alive, undeluded and beautiful. Rudimentary production values fail to dull the sheen.2) Bredrin Daddys "Magic 7" Typical contemporary shit but who cares? The song is catchy. I have no idea what the guy is rapping about but the tune makes you wanna shake your ass. Most pro-sounding recording of the lot.3) The Year Zero "Timeless ...
