Mitch All Together

CD-Charts > Music > Miscellaneous
by: Mitch Hedberg

Release Date December 09, 2003
A man who was terrified of performing. You can see it in his live show. Yet he still pushes through, even when he feels like he crashes. It is comedic genius of the most honest level. Once again an out of control drug life takes a man who by many accounts would have only gained in popularity.
I can only wish for more material...

Filtros

CD-Charts > Music > Miscellaneous
by: Guillermo Klein, Los Guachos

Release Date June 10, 2008
Guillermo Klein and Los Guachos' "Filtros" is the most original and exciting jazz-related large ensemble music I've heard in quite some time. I say "jazz-related" because calling this just "jazz" would be limiting.
Klein has come up with a sound world all his own. He has a great band full of strong and individual improvisers and players, but utilizes their soloing talents sparingly and only when it makes sense in the context of a particular piece. Several soloists, most notably Miguel Zenon on alto saxophone, get their chance to shine in selected spots. All of the musicians' own voices can be heard featured in Klein's melodies and voicings...he really writes for this particular group of individuals.
In this release, Klein's gift for ... Read More:

Seussical: The Musical (Original Cast Recording)

CD-Charts > Music > Miscellaneous
by: Original Broadway Cast, Stephen Flaherty, Eric Idle, Lynn Ahrens

Release Date February 06, 2001
I'm guessing that this review is about the person/group who sent me this item and if that's the case, then I'm happy to write that I received this anticipated product in a timely manner. It was well protected and came in perfect condition.

If this is about the actual product...I suggest that the purchaser should have seen the Musical prior to purchasing the CD. I watched it with my students then purchased the CD and we are all very happy.

Deepak Chopra: The Happiness Prescription

CD-Charts > Music > Miscellaneous
starring: Deepak Chopra

Release Date April 08, 2008
As always Deepak has done an amazing job. If you already know Deepak's work then it's a nice edition to your collection. If you are new to Deepak's work then I think he does a really great job in defining what really gives us long lasting happiness. I have purchsed this video for friends. As I think in our culture we have become too materilistic. And while nice, new things make us happy, they only create temporary happiness. There are better ways to create long lasting happiness. As always Deepak is easy to understand and very inspiring. I reccomend this even if you don't think you need this.

Free to Be You and Me

CD-Charts > Music > Miscellaneous
starring: Marlo Thomas, Alan Alda, Harry Belafonte, Mel Brooks, Rita Coolidge
directed by: Fred Wolf, Len Steckler, Bill Davis (VI)

Release Date November 20, 2001
Like many before me, I watched this as a kid in school for several years and was surprised to see a DVD release. The DVD has versions of songs not on the CD (a young Michael Jackson for example).

BUT

The DVD quality is pretty bad. It looks like someone put a video camera on a tripod and pointed it at the wall showing the old film on a screen (complete with things blocking the view) - I'm serious. They didn't remaster it or even do a quality transfer.

This may be the only version you will see on DVD so holding off may not be wise if you have no other copy. I pulled a copy from Showtime a LONG Time ago and it's MUCH MUCH MUCH better than the DVD. How sad...

Orphans [Fold-out Digipak with 24-page booklet]

CD-Charts > Music > Miscellaneous
by: Tom Waits

Release Date December 05, 2006
The old version of Tom Waits, with the jazzy backdrop, lush orchestrations and tales of down-and-out losers and hookers in the dark bowels of the barroom night, seems assuredly gone forever at this point. One can relive those days vicariously through the artist's catalogue for Elektra/Asylum (plus the soundtrack to Francis Ford Coppola's ONE FROM THE HEART), but Waits has rigorously steered away from that previous incarnation since then, recording some of the most willfully idiosynchratic music since Captain Beefheart hung up his skates, as well as some of the most heartfelt songs--you know, with verses and choruses--anyone's ever written. ORPHANS has a lot of both, being a compilation of songs leftover from the sessions for his albums, contributions to tribute albums and ... Read More:
