1 out of 5 stars Eeww!.......2006-06-19

This is like the music to one of those theme park Celebrate America type shows. The musical arrangements have that hokey, somewhat dated, overly sweet and enthusiatic feel I hate. I thought I was getting the standard versions of these songs but what I got was the cruise ship extravaganza, yuck!

1 out of 5 stars this land is your land.......2006-04-17

to think that "this land is your land" is a patriotic song is laughable at best, however is a common misconception of the song. you'd think that the creators of this cd would research the songs they put on the cd a little more, and find that "this land is your land" is actually a protest song (original lyrics contained lyrics such as "on that sign there it said private property/but on the other side it didn't say nothing/that side was made for you and me", an obvious attack on capitalism".

The title says it all.
Good old fashioned "goose bump" music.

4 out of 5 stars Great Place to Start a Patriotic Music Collection.......2002-09-12

This choral collection features a majority of the best known and loved patriotic songs from our country's history. I'll admit I was a little leery of the choral part when I first picked it up, but I've found that, for the most part, it works really well.

It especially stands out on the acappella version of "My Country 'Tis of Thee." It's absolutely stunning. Other fun songs are "This Land is Your Land," which I really wasn't familiar with before I bought this, and a personal recent favorite song "God Bless the USA." I love having the "Armed Forces Medley" on here so I can learn these songs. And the instrumental arrangement on "Stars and Stripes Forever Medley" at the end has me taping my toes every time I hear it.

There are a couple missteps, however. I've heard better versions of "The Star Spangled Banner." I think one reason I'm disappointed with it is that they only include one verse. I love the other verses of our national anthem, and wished they'd included at least one more since they included multiple verses of all the other songs. Also, "If My People" and "God Save America," while find songs, just don't seem to fit here.

Overall, you can't go wrong with this collection. I'm just starting to look for patriotic music, and this has been a wonderful first CD.

5 out of 5 stars An evening to cherish. .......2006-10-28

If we only knew that this now-historic date would be the last stop in a short and often troubled life of Chet Baker....

The setting for this recording is truly brilliant. Chet is accompanied by an 18 piece big band as well as a 43 piece symphony orchestra. Together, a unique musical experience is formed as the NDR big band is accented by the soft and almost whimsical sound of the string section. Additionally, the musical styling of John Schroder's guitar adds layers of depth and punctuation to an already tight rhythm section.

This recording has all the makings for greatness. This set includes jazz greats like All Blues, Summertime, Tenderly, and In Your Own Sweet Way. Chet reminds us of the voice that we all fell in love with during a heartfelt homage to days past with My Funny Valentine. Even through the false teeth and rough exterior, Chet exposes his tender soul with each word.

The fuzzy sound of his trumpet can be heard on the back-end of the beat while Chet's solos are simple in nature, they become wildly complex as he effortlessly weaves in and out of the changes.

Chet provides a taste of his prototypical West-Coast sound in Monk's classic, "Well You Needn't" as he dances with the NDR big band in a rather exciting musical exchange.

I do believe this CD belongs in the company of other great jazz recordings. It certainly would be a welcomed addition to any collection.

Special recognition is in order of Executive Producer, Matthias Winckelmann for bringing such a fine recording to the masses.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect Notes and Space.......2006-07-02

I've always been a fan of Chet Baker's trumpet playing and his singing, but never took the trouble to analyze his lines until this album. His solos are like perfect modern sculptures in that they don't waste notes, space, or form. Nothing is superfluous. His 2 choruses of improvisation on All Blues and on In Your Own Sweet Way show the genius of his discipline. His attack is a little more "boppish" than Miles, but he uses spaces as brilliantly. I didn't realize just how magnificent he was as an instrumentalist until transcribing some of his lines on this recording. Wow. I also wondered how someone as dissolute and unhealthy as Chet Baker must have been, could have the strength and breath control to play those lines with so much fluidity and strength. He sustained a few languid tones and played some long-winded phrases with lots of notes over several bars. Imagine what he would have sounded like if he actually took good care of himself. His skills were under-rated. For my money, Frank Sinatra in a lifetime of Sundays couldn't sound one tenth as hip as Chet. Mel Torme might be another story. Great album with phenomenal solos.

5 out of 5 stars AMAZING.......2006-03-24

This is a great album. Can be very depressing to listen to though. His rendition of My Funny Valentine is nothing short of a masterpiece. Although he was messed up on drugs, his trumpet playing never suffered. Buy this cd if youre a true fan.

5 out of 5 stars A must have !.......2005-11-03

Simple presentation. Good sound.
Fabulous inspiration in this concert !
If you want to know the most inspiring part of the life then you must have this one.

4 out of 5 stars Last concert...big band.......2005-02-27

Since this is Chet's last recorded work, there is an emotional element about listening to this CD. So for historical pruposes, this is an amazing recording. With regard to the quality, his trumpet playing is in top form; however his vocals are a bit weak. However, I'm not much of a fun of the big backing band here -- I prefer to hear Chet in a more scaled downed setting -- such as a small quartet or quintet. Therefore, I'll mark this down to a 4. If you like the larger backing band this is a must have; otherwise, just a nice addition to your Chet Baker collection.

2 out of 5 stars not to great.......2007-04-04

We were disappointed with this CD, but for the price I guess we can't expect much. I didn't care for the new style presentation of the songs. I like a more traditional rendering.

3 out of 5 stars Not so bad, 100 tunes for 4$.......2005-06-22

I red the comments of two other people who have bought this 4 CD BOX SET and it is not really so bad. I will even add that there are some excellent tunes. However, I must agree with the fact that few tunes seem to have been recorded 40 or 50 years ago, mainly when you hear the scratches of an old turntable but it is just 2 or 3 tunes. Furthermore, if you do not know American music, it is a good BOX SET to buy if you consider that you received 4 CD for 4$ including 100 tunes. On these 4 CD, I have heard some orchestration that I have never heard before and I consider that they are different but interesting. Any way, after hearing these 100 tunes, you will say to yourself that you like this tune, this other tune, this other tune and so on and you will be able to buy a more expensive CD with the tunes that you like. However, I have bought many CDs in the last few weeks and as you know, there are always some tunes that you like and some tunes that you do not like on every CD that you will buy. So, don't buy it at 25$ but at 4 or 5$ dollars, it is a very good choice for 100 tunes.

1 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for........2004-07-04

You get what you pay for. The singers put their own spin on the singing of each song. If you didn't hear the words you would not recognize some of them. Even some of the music sounds like a bad recording of music played on a turntable. Definitely not worth the price.

1 out of 5 stars Now I know why there were no song samples to listen to ..........2004-07-04

I wish this review had been here when I was thinking of purchasing it. I guess you get what you pay for. If you are thinking of buying this, you are better off recording your own CDs (or at least buying one that you can listen to a sampling of the songs). This album includes songs that were mere recordings of the songs playing on an old record player. It's almost so unbelievable that it is funny.

Album Description

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Fun tunes for fun people.......2006-07-24

The Mel-Tones' "Surf Sensation" smacks of retro '60s surf culture. Each of the album's 33 tracks is a punchy little 2-minute surf vignette with a personality of its own. "Surf Sensations" boasts rollicking, uptempo rhythms, lush reverb guitar sounds, and the occasional gleefully shouted word. Highlights include "Kung Fu Saturdays," "Surfin' Natasha," and "Curl Rider Stomp." The music is vaguely reminescent of Dick Dale and the Del-Tones, but with a fresh new flavor. It occasionally strays from surf to spy, martial arts and spaghetti western, but all while maintaining the same distinct instrumental sound. Hard to believe the Mel-Tones hail from Canada, eh?

5 out of 5 stars Superb up-tempo surf.......2006-07-10

If you like up-tempo surf with a 60s flavor, along the lines of the Astronauts, and early Jon & The Nightriders, then you'll love this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Another essential cd for the surf music fanatic!.......2006-03-29

I had to savor the content of this cd for a couple months before reviewing it. One thing for certain- you don't need to be living in California circa early 1960's to write/perform great surf music. The boys from Montreal are no exception in "Surf Sensation". Tracks such as Kung Fu Saturdays"," Breakers at Hanalei","The Last Papaya","Distant Shores", and "Cabo Del Cabo" are amongst my favorites. Excellent guitar melodies throughout accented with tasty trem picking, trem dives, muted arpegios, with the manditory drenching of Fender reverb! I don't proclaim you'll like all 33 tracks; you have to listen in order for them to grow on you. No words in the music to anoy or offend you. Surf Music-it's a good thing, very cool, and the Meltones/Surf Sensation is all that!!!

5 out of 5 stars immaculate surf tunes.......2004-10-11

If you are surfing amazon.com for some surf music gems to buy, you have found one right here! This is a stunning and exciting collection from these masters of surf guitar from Canada! The interplay between these two guitarists is incredible, showing a true mastery of the surf music sound. All the songs sound very vintage and totally authentic. Listen to this alblum and you are indeed transported back to the early 60's. This surf music has a darker, aggresive theme to the songs as you can hear from the samples. If you liked some of Dick Dales early surf music you will indeed love this alblum by the Mel-tones. I actually think these guys are better than Dick Dale! You will not find a better surf guitar alblum at Amazon.com, and I give my word on that.

    5 out of 5 stars Soul Food.......2003-10-03

    This collection is simply delicious! It is no less than food for the soul. Van Cliburn is my favorite pianist for the sheer fact that he does not get in the way of the performance. Cliburn plays the music as it was intended to be heard. Never too fast or too slow, Cliburn seems to be in tune with the timing of the Gods! Chopin has never been played more beautifully. Chopin's music requires sensitivity to each and every note. So often a pianist will rush through Chopin as if he were a jockey at the Kentucky Derby; not Cliburn. Cliburn caresses each note and brings out the subtle and sublime harmonies that Chopin composed. We are fortunate to have the recordings of Van Cliburn and esspecially his Chopin and Debussy. Treat yourself to this soul satisfying gift!

    5 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful.......2000-04-12

    This features some of the most beautiful songs played by the one of the best pianists in the world. Van Cliburn clearly enjoys and loves playing these pieces. There is a wide spectrum of "classical music" played from Scriabin to Chopin. I definietly recommend this CD to anyone who appreciates fine music and outstanding performances.

    5 out of 5 stars If you love Jazz..........2004-12-19

    I wish I was a prolific writer because my words cannot discribe how great this CD is. I listen to it over and over again and I never tire of it. Trust me, you will love it too. I cannot go into the technical aspects like some people can, I just know good music when I hear it, and this is GREAT music!

    5 out of 5 stars Entirely enjoyable.......2003-11-20

    A contemporary keyboardist with credits encompassing the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, and Chaka Kahn mainly playing acoustic piano; a brilliant bassist who's graced uncounted jazz sessions who "can play an acoustic bass and make it sound like an electric bass" (according to the liner notes--this is a virtue??); and a Hip-Hop drummer "who can also play jazz" (again, from the liner notes).

    Can this possibly work?

    Yes. And very satisfactorily, thank you.

    It may offend the jazz police (too groove-oriented). It may resonate with the smooth jazz crowd (check out the "Customers who shopped for this item also shopped for these items" list: Wayman Tisdale, David Benoit, Voodoo Village, Richard Smith--'nuff said!).

    So what?

    Music categories are mainly a crock anyway.

    Listen. I'm a "jazz guy" and I LOVE this disc (OK, my jazz credibility--such as it is--is now almost certainly thoroughly down the toilet with my fellow Amazon jazz reviewers; again, so what?).

    Personally, I'm struggling to figure out how this resonates with the David Benoit crowd; there's simply way too much of an authentic jazz esthetic happening here: Saisse over and over again demonstrates entirely respectible jazz bona fides (esp. a sly but deeply delved blues sensibility); David Fink (acoustic bass) needs no introduction to the serious jazz fan--his credits read like a Who's Who of jazz; and Skoota Warner on drums plays a David King (of the Bad Plus) type role in this setting, creating rockish, hip-hoppy grooves that lend this music a smart contemporary feel that too many post-bop sessions to name desperately lack.

    OK, it occasionally sidles up too close to jazz lite (esp., I'd say, "Once" and "About Time," featuring striking but quite pop-oriented vocals by Nneka Morton), but that's all right. I'm of a mind to think that's less a sin than unnecessarily alienating potential listeners by excessive esotericism, a criticism of Jason Moran's (to these ears nevertheless fine) disc, Black Stars.

    As I listen to this disc over and over (really--I can't get it out of my player), I'm convinced they're some really fine renditions of (unlikely, for jazz treatments) pop songs: "Summer Breeze," "Alone Again (Naturally)," "Laura," and "I'm Not in Love," the 10CC monster hit. Besides imbuing these chestnuts with a genuine jazz sensibility, Saisse uncovers hidden melodic, harmonic, rhythmic, and blooze treasures hidden in them. And isn't that what jazz is all about? I'd say so.

    And that's why I'm so high on this disc, a real surprise, even a sleeper, for me.

    A delightful collection of shorter works for violin with piano accompaniment, some of them extremely familiar, others less so, but with Grumiaux's lyrical style (not flamboyant like Perlman's, but graceful and beautiful in an understated way), and fine accompaniment, the music on these 2 CDs is consistently excellent and can be listened to either consecutively or just a few pieces at a time. Well worth having.

    4 out of 5 stars Great Bargain.......2002-04-10

    Bing Crosby grew up listening to the classic Irish Tenors like McDermott as well as early jazz. The results heard on this short collection show Crosby as uniquely qualified to present the best of both worlds. Crosby approached all the songs with a very relaxed and uniquely American delivery which retained the warm round tones of the Irish tenors. Crosby's vocal approach here is straightforward and he delivers the ballads with superb emotional restraint..."Danny Boy" is gently touching and not the least bit overwrought (many singers have a tendency to overdo the classic Irish lament). Crosby defined the popular Irish-American songbook with these gems. It's as much Brooklyn as County Clare, and great music. My only criticism here is that the cd could use more substantial documentation and maybe liner notes. I guess that helped keep the price down on this great bargain cd. The music is first rate and offers a wonderful window on Irish-American culture in the 40's and 50's.

    4 out of 5 stars Crosby's mellow baritone put's even Sinatra to shame........1999-09-19

    I grew up on lps of Crosby's even though he was dead before I was born. His mellow voice and clever turns of phrase puts to mind the green and beautiful countryside of Ireland. His rendition of Danny Boy cuts to the heart and would make a stone cry. Even though there was not an option to hear the Irish Eyes are Smiling song, I have heard him sing it before and can only imagine the lilting quality he puts into it. He will always be ahead of any other male performer of his era, my book.
