Worrisome Heart

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Jazz
by: Melody Gardot

March 04, 2008
The 23 year old Philadelphian turned to music while recovering from a horrific accident and her recovery process led to a new career.
She was knocked off her bicycle by a car and suffered near-fatal head injuries, as well as pelvic fractures that still force her to walk with a stick.
Before the accident she'd already been working part-time as a lounge pianist to help fund her studies, playing tunes by Duke Ellington or Billy Joel against a hubbub of hecklers and clinking glasses, and one of her doctors said she should try music-making as part of her recovery process.
The recordings she made in a wheelchair at her hospital bedside were eventually released in 2005 as Some Lessons - The Bedroom Sessions.
Picked up by the same ... Read More:

Come Away with Me

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Jazz
by: Norah Jones

February 26, 2002
Its not-quite-jazz, not-quite-blues but I loved it. Nora Jones is a rare and gifted talent that only comes along once in while. Her voice is so sultry and sophisticated that I thought I was listening to a much older artist. Every song on her album invites you into the world of her soulful music for a listening experience that made me play the songs over and over. Excellent CD. You'll get lost in the music.

Kind Of Blue (50th Ann. Dlx )

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Jazz
by: Miles Davis

September 30, 2008
I have been waiting with great anticipation for the release of this set. Sony has done a very fine job of the book, the photographs, the CD and the poster. The LP is pressed in clear blue plastic and the mastering is very good. But the pressing is atrociously bad and noisy. Rather shoddy for the price if you compare it with the Blue Note 45 RPM issues by Music Matters. The surface has bubbles that produce distortions and clicks. A lot of collectors will be after the LP rather than the CD and Sony should have done a better job. What a shame!
Amazon.ca has been great in replacing my first set which I mailed back, with another in a matter of days, but the second set has arrive with a gouge in the slipcase and the same problem with the LP. I was told ... Read More:

The Very Thought of You

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Jazz
from: Fusion

June 12, 2007
Add the talented voice of Emilie-Claire Barlow to a list that includes Diana Krall, Madeleine Peyroux, Regina Belle, Rossana Casale, Stacey Kent, Jane Monheit, Holly Cole and Sophie Milman.
These women all share an affinity for the Great American Songbook, they love bossa nova and samba, they have substantial vocal chops and they sing in two or more languages to cement their savoir-faire.
That's all here in a moody version of "The Very Thought of You", "Les Yeux Vert", sung beautifully in French, and a reading of the '60s pop hit "Dream a Little Dream of Me".
The arrangements are fresh and focused, and all her own. Joined by an all-star band and some fabulous guest soloists, Emilie-Claire leads the group, including a large string ensemble, ... Read More:

It's Time

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Jazz
by: Michael Buble

February 08, 2005
Recognized as Canada's best artist with FOUR JUNO's this past year alone, Mr. Michael Bublé won't disappoint.
It's Time is a wonderful collection of both revitalized old and brand new like the smash hit "Home" written by Bublé himself. No wonder after 2 years on the charts It's Time is still one of the best selling cds in Canada.
With the new release "Call Me Irresponsible" out soon, the Bublé catalogue is certain to remain a mainstay in Canadian music.
