Universidad Navidena

Search: Overjoyed
by: Various Artists

Release Date August 29, 2006
This is a compilation CD that mostly includes performances by ensembles from America's top music schools. Four tracks list no affiliation to any music school whatsoever, and yet still somehow got themselves onto this CD. These four mystery tracks, together with five English-language tracks, make "Universidad Navidena" a strange choice for a CD title. In terms of content, the jazz vocal ensembles suffer from sloppy performances, awkward arrangements, and/or bad studio editing. (No telling how track #7 make it onto a commercial CD.) You'll waste time sifting through a strange mix of classical, jazz, bluesy, world beat, and overproduced pop tracks to find two or three tunes that you actually like.

Very professional performances ... Read More:

Love for the Future

Release Date October 13, 1992
this CD seems to be bogged down by the typical problem with most "Urban Contemporary" releases..too many producers. Hopefully her next release (which i'm still waiting on, Nona! What are you waiting on? Hopefully ME! I've got some songs for you, sis! Just wait until i get my devices :-D) will have more of a unified production style instead of making the mistake of trying to please a million & one different types of listeners...

Another Side of Love

Search: Overjoyed
by: Dave Rave, Mark Mccarron

Release Date
Ex-Teenage Head singer Dave Rave teams up with cool guitarist Mark McCarron & hot NYC jazz cats for a very sweet understated brushes / stand-up bass / organ / guitar journey through all the stages of a love affair.
"... brilliantly evokes a lonely romanticism ... one of the more insinuating discs of the year. Fans of Margo Guryan will appreciate the pithy "Inspiration", which rides well on a bossa nova groove, though the song is played in more of an early-'60s jazz manner. The standard-worthy "Beginner's Style" perfectly encapsulates yearning... The instrumental break after the second chorus is breathtaking. The song suddenly downshifts, leading to a minor key middle eight which then picks right back up into the main tune. Very impressive. ... Read More:
