| | African Lullaby CD
African Lullaby is a charming collection of children's music warmed by Africa's rich musical heritage. The folklore and family life in regions like the Ivory Coast, Mali, Senegal, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Guinea, Kenya, Nigeria, Zambia, and South Africa are reflected in the lullabies' lyrics, as traditional instruments such as the kora, mbira, balaphone, dundun, bamboo flute, talking drum, and guitar heighten the album's authenticity. Stars of the African music scene like Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Ayub Ogada and Stella Chiweshe are just a few of the performers contributing to African Lullaby, a distinctive and worthwhile collection for world music fans and children alike. ~ Heather Phares

| | Wolfgang Schalk Rainbows In The Night CD (2003)
African Lullaby album
$12.39 Recorded at Water Music Studios, Hoboken, New Jersey, in November 2001.
Personnel: Wolfgang Schalk (guitar); Dave Kikoski (piano); Andy McKee (bass instrument); Ian Froman (drum).
All About Jazz writes: With heartfelt sincerity and dedication to guitar greats such as Wes Montgomery and George Benson, jazz guitarist Wolfgang Schalk interprets his vision and love for the jazz guitar dialect. Rainbows in the Night is a thoughtful and earnest recording. The compositions are seemingly not intended to highlight a blistering jam session, but more a mellow sense of swing. Wolfgang Schalk, like most musicians of his caliber, has been on the jazz scene for a while. A native of Austria who now lives in New York City, Schalk has garnered international acclaim as a talented composer and guitarist. His style is smooth and his sound exudes a harmonious and melodic voice that's familiar and warm. The new recording features impressive musicians, including notables Dave Kikoski on piano and Andy McKee on bass. The quartet is made complete with fine rhythm work by drummer Ian Froman. Schalk ...

| | Of Montreal Horse And Elephant Eatery (Elephants Not Allowed): The Singles And Songles Album CD (2000)
African Lullaby songs
$13.29 Where previous Of Montreal records evoked children's picture books in their grand narrative scope, off-the-wall characters, and candy-colored hues, Horse & Elephant Eatery (No Elephants Allowed) -- a compilation of "singles and songles" (i.e., material previously released in a variety of non-album formats) -- is more akin to a schoolboy's collage assembled from cut-out photos, construction paper, and paste, a composite of random ideas and far-flung images that together form a charmingly chaotic whole. While the disc of course lacks the thematic unity common to the group's previous conceptual efforts, the songs nevertheless hang together on the strength of their shared warmth and effervescence -- perhaps no other contemporary group makes pop music so utterly guileless and unashamedly rapturous, articulating an innocence remarkably free of irony and calculation. Much of Horse & Elephant Eatery recalls the carnival-esque character ...
