Jazz Impressions of Disney

cwarrior

I'm not sure what I was expecting - I've listened to a fair amount of Brubeck; (like Dave,) I dig Disney; I didn't see how I could go wrong with this. And I don't know that I DID go wrong with it - it just wasn't what I expected. Great versions of some of the songs, while others are almost totally unrecognizable. They may be good in their own right, and I'm sure repeated listening will help me appreciate each piece more. But if you want to download an album that your kids will instantly recognize and enjoy, this probably isn't it.

This CD contains the original LP of the same name plus two previously unissued songs (“Very Good Advice” and “So This Is Love”). Inspired by a trip with his family to Disneyland, Dave Brubeck recorded eight songs taken from four Disney movies (Alice in Wonderland, Pinocchio, Snow White and Cinderella), including such melodies as “Give a Little Whistle,” “Heigh Ho,” “When You Wish Upon a Star” and “Someday My Prince Will Come.” The funny part is that all of these songs were already in the Brubeck Quartet’s repertoire. The results are pleasing although, due to a misprint, the CD booklet only contains half of the original liner notes. – Scott Yanow
