Gypsy Soul: New Flamenco

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Latin Music
by: Various Artists

March 24, 1998
I bought this CD for the Slash piece that is included. I liked each and every piece in this CD, and the only reason it gets 4 stars rather than 5 is because all pieces are quite similar. There are no significant variations in the mood or sound between them, so it can get a tiny bit boring by the time you reach the end of it. Great for background music.

June 22, 1999
Being a Maná fan for over a decade, this CD has a different feeling, it was great to hear songs like "Oye Mi Amor", "En el Muelle de San Blas" being play different, as well as the cover songs. This CD is for everyone who like great music, fan or not a fan, you'll enjoy it a lot.

Nocturne

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Latin Music
by: Charlie Haden & Gonzalo Rubalcaba

May 08, 2001
last month i experienced some horror in my life that was worthy of a stephen king novel. i wanted to listen to charlie haden's sublime album "nocturne," and i couldn't find it! it was not there where it should be amongst my other charlie haden cds! fear overtook me at once and i began turning the house upside down in my frantic search for this gem. nowhere was it to be found. my heart raced and beads of sweat formed on my forehead. i felt sick. well, amazon.com came to my rescue. i jumped online and ordered me another copy pronto. and now i have this gorgeous recording back in my home. seriously, i have over 700 jazz albums, and this one is in my top 25. like the miles davis slice of heaven "kind of blue," this charlie haden album is perfect. ...

On My Knees: The Best of Jaci Velasquez

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Latin Music
by: Jaci Velasquez

May 09, 2006
I searched for her CD because I wanted her song "On My Knees". I had not heard any of her other music. When I got the CD and listened to it I was so pleased to find that I liked every song on it. It is wonderful Christian music and I listen to it often.

Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Latin Music
by: Vince Guaraldi

July 01, 1991
Vince Guaraldi cranks out music like few others. What makes him special? Aside from his trademark "crushed tone thirds," he delivers at multiple levels. I can be swept away by the joy, bouncing with the beat, or running to my piano room to practice when I hear this CD. There are no lulls. Guaraldi's playing, masterful as it is, is all about the listener's experience, not about the player's chops. If you've enjoyed hearing him you-know-where, but want to experience him without thinking of you-know-what, he brings the same kind of positive energy to this CD as he did to the characters of you-know-who.

Christmas Through Your Eyes

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Latin Music
by: Gloria Estefan

June 05, 2007
This elegantly presented Christmas album has the feel of snow falling outside our windows as children play, all bundled up in big coats and mittens. Songs we often hear during this season are made new by Gloria's interpretations and some terrific arrangements from producer Phil Ramone.

Though the arrangements are modern, this somehow manages to have a 1940's feel. You can easily imagine Gloria in front of one of those large microphones from the era, elegantly dressed in red with long white gloves, a small choir behind her. It almost seems like something which could have been broadcast over the airwaves from a ballroom somewhere, as in the days of old radio.

Gloria's rendition of "The Christmas Song" is a simple yet sophisticated ... Read More:

Some people don't like it as much as the older albums, but I think is very good, very calm, and definitely more like poetry, I like it a lot.
