Weeds: Music from the Original Series, Vol. 2

CD-Charts > Music > Jazz
by: Original TV Soundtrack

Release Date October 17, 2006
LOVE THE SERIES, LOVE THE MUSIC OF THE SERIES. THIS SOUNDTRACK WOULD HAVE BEEN 5 STARS HAD THEY INCLUDED MORE MUSIC FROM THE SECOND SEASON. SPECIFICLY THIS HIPHOP TUNE ON DISC 2 THAT WAS BANGIN AND FOR ALL THE GANGSTER INNUENDO IN THIS COMEDY YOU WOULD THINK IT COULD REFLECT ON THE SOUNDTRACK. PROBABLY THE ONLY STRAIGHT HIPHOP IN EITHER SERIES AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COOL TO HEAR IT ON THIS SOUNDTRACK. WE SCOFF WHEN WE HEAR AFRICAN AMERICANS SAY THINGS LIKE "WE STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO" THIS IS WHAT THEY MEAN. I FIND IT ODD THAT A SHOW THAT SEEMS TO HAVE NO LIMITS WOULD LIMIT THEIR SOUNDTRACK. MAYBE THE PRODUCERS THINK THEY ARE DOING US A FAVOR BY SPARING/SHELTERING US FROM THE "SCOURGE" THAT IS HIPHOP OR MAYBE THEY THINK THAT WE ARE NOT AS ... Read More:

Not for Kids Only

CD-Charts > Music > Jazz
by: Jerry Garcia, David Grisman

Release Date October 20, 1993
This music has that timeless folky appeal. The title is appropriate, as I can understand children enjoying the simplicity of these songs, but the songs themselves aren't "childish." They speak about simple subject matter (eg. trains) but in a respectful and authoritative way. Master musicianship as well.

You Got Served - Take It to the Streets (Dance Instructional)

CD-Charts > Music > Jazz
starring: Harry Shum Jr., Robert Hoffman, Isaiah Vest, Meme Miles, Diona Robinson
directed by: Billy Pollina

Release Date June 29, 2004
I liked the dances in this, though they weren't my favorite ones from the movie, and I Love Shane Sparks- though he was only in it about 5 minutes.
The dancers are great, the ONLY problem I had was it was a little hard. The moves weren't hard, but they only show you once or twice then move on, and then do it soooo fast. Some other tapes will have you repeat in segments so you can remember more. But you can always rewind and do them over.... But for the price, I have to say it was a great deal!

Chavez Ravine

CD-Charts > Music > Jazz
by: Ry Cooder

Release Date June 14, 2005
That's CHA-vez. Just as he provided a venue for aging Cubans before they were gone and forgotten, Cooder, in 15 songs, shines a light on the unknown tale of how a dusty hillside Los Angeles Mexican neighborhood known as Chavez Ravine was razed in the 1950s in a "greasy handoff" to the newly arrived Dodgers baseball team. Think of the movie Chinatown. Crooked red-baiting right wing politicos, innocent citizens believing "it can't happen here," cool cats being beaten up by GIs, and a UFO-driving Space Vato (space guy) who recognizes the Ravine as the hip place to land; these are the players in Cooder's loving 21st century concept album.

The beautifully packaged Nonesuch CD includes a booklet worthy of a very small coffee table. The record ... Read More:

On a Starry Night

CD-Charts > Music > Jazz
by: Various Artists

Release Date April 15, 1997
I bought this CD because of all the rave reviews I read about it. The other people must have been a bit more earthy-crunchy than I am. I found all the wind instruments a bit boring. I think I like to hear a little more piano or something... I love the baby Mozart CD but I thought my baby needed a change every once in a while. Thats why I bought this one. It's ok....

Why didn't I get this sooner?... This disc seems like a delightful, easy-going jam between Knofler and Atkins. Very enjoyable.

Art of Motion

CD-Charts > Music > Jazz
by: Andy McKee

Release Date January 10, 2006
Folk, jazz, Spanish-favor, classical--sorry, no rap. My twenty-something son gave me this for Father's Day early. I bought a copy for my seventy-something father in celebration of the same holiday. We all love it. See Andy McKee on YouTube.

Givin' It Up

CD-Charts > Music > Jazz
by: George Benson, Al Jarreau

Release Date October 24, 2006
This is a phenomenal CD of fabulous music with two of the greatest "Jazz men" of all time. Probably the single greatest CD I have added to my collection in years. Crisp, on time, and deep melodies as well as the perfect duo make this CD worth the money and probably one of the first I will wear out.

Solo Piano

CD-Charts > Music > Jazz
from: Sony

Release Date August 07, 1989
Don't play this in an elevator; don't play this while you make dinner; don't play this on a Sunday afternoon while you read; don't play this while you watch tv; don't play this while you put away the clothes; don't play this in your car; don't play this while you're getting ready for work in the morning or going to bed at night; don't play this while you're having a conversation with a friend on the phone whom you haven't seen in three years. Play this when you are ready to stop and listen. Don't even think. If you are able to listen and lose thought, you'll enjoy this music.
