| | Kansas City Soundtrack CD (1 Customer Review)
The soundtrack to Robert Altman's "Kansas City" will take you back to the heyday of swing, Kansas City style. It features a big band of today's lions glorifying jazz's golden age, dressed in the trappings of their predecessors. Yet there's no ... Full Descriptionmistaking their true faces underneath their half-century-old hats.
It kicks off with the creeping and gritty "Blues In The Dark," a Count Basie standard featuring the unmistakable cry and response of tenormen James Carter and Joshua Redman, whose performances are soulful, rousing and plaintive. The big band glides through Bennie Moten's "Moten Swing," one of the swing era's definitive tunes, and struts on Count Basie's "Lafayette." Smooth as a K.C. gangster. Kevin Mahogany takes the mic for "I Left My Baby," an old-fashioned juke-joint romp, complete with an enthusiastic crowd (sounding like it's surrounding you) egging on each musician. On Coleman Hawkins' "Queer Notions" you can hear David Murray walking in Bean's shoes. In fact, the very spirits of Bennie Moten's and Count Basie's orchestras are quite present throughout this foray into the swinging golden age of Kansas City jazz.
Recorded at the Hey Hey Club on May 11-22, 1995. Includes liner notes by Robert Altman, Bob Blumenthal and Eric Liljestrand.

Down Beat (9/96, p.53) - 4.5 Stars - Very Good/Excellent - "...a fine sense of period, and not a pinch of camp. In the final analysis, that's what gives this soundtrack its integrity as a freestanding jazz work--some of the best contemporary players giving the best they've got to another generation, and no condescension in sight..."
JazzTimes (10/96, p.116) - "...Kansas City's all-stars play with passion, bluesy brio and historical awareness..."

| | Mannheim Steamroller Meets The Mouse CD (1999)
Kansas City Soundtrack CD music
$15.39 
MANNHEIM STEAMROLLER MEETS THE MOUSE was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Musical Album For Children.
Mannheim's keyboardist and mastermind Chip Davis has made a long, profitable career out of combining classical-tinged orchestrations with various pop traditions in an instrumental context. Davis takes his modus operandi to its next logical step on MEETS THE MOUSE, where he tackles the Disney Songbook. Classic tunes like "Chim Chim Cher-ee" and "Heigh-Ho" rub shoulders with more recent Disney-derived compositions like Randy Newman's "You've Got a Friend in Me." Throughout, the themes are picked up by Davis' keyboards and a flexible orchestra that sounds equally at home with the classical influences in Davis' arrangements and the timeless pop craftsmanship of the songs.
Additional personnel includes: Kelly Lynne Davis, Jimmie Dodd (vocals); Arnie Roth, Robert F. Peterson, Rochelle S. Abramson, Camille Avellano, Mark Baranov, Deborah Buck-Matthews, Nicole M. Bush (violin); Samuel W. Formicola, John T. Acevedo, Richard M. Elegino, Diane E. Gilbert (viola); John E. Acosta, Andrew M. Cook, Daniel Rothmuller, Robert L. Adcock, Peggy M. Baldwin (cello); Paul Fried, Patricia A. Kaufmann, Gary Woodward (flute); Joel C. Peskin, David Boruff, Donald S. Markese (alto saxophone); Rick Baptist, Warren Luening (trumpet); Richard Todd, James Atkinson, Jeff DeRosa, Erich M. Peterson, Brad Warnaar, Christine M. Worthing-Peterson (horn).
Engineers include: Brian Ackley, John Richards, Dave Cwirko.
