Saxophonist Karl Denson may not have the name recognition enjoyed by new-jack jazzmen such as Charlie Hunter or Medeski, Martin & Wood, but that should change with Dance Lesson #2, his Blue Note debut. A versatile player, Denson played with Lenny Kravitz in the early '90s and helped found the acclaimed if short-lived Greyboy Allstars in the mid-'90s. He's also cut a handful of albums on small labels, the early ones more straight-ahead and the later ones more locked into the groove thing. Here, Denson's work on alto, tenor, and flute rides the dance-floor jazz groove with the melodic sense of Herbie Mann and the immaculate funk timing of Maceo Parker, who is undoubtedly an influence. An all-star cast of sidemen that includes Melvin Sparks, Charlie Hunter, Chris Wood, and DJ Logic urge Denson on by holding nothing back themselves. This set is also diverse--while some tunes delve deep into the groove, others verge on smooth jazz, making for a nicely paced, well-crafted album. --Tad Hendrickson

F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C.!.......2006-02-02

I've got the original music (including v2 and v3), the books (the best is Heitland's The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Book; still in print);
the 22 VHS tapes issued in the early 1990's (a haphazard collection issued in no particular order of episodes that boasted famous guest stars). Can I please get the whole series on DVD? I have not seen Mother Fear toying with Illya (The Children's Day Affair) in over 40 years.

At LAST the complete series ORIGINAL soundtrack, the wait is over!.......2005-07-12

Many of us have always thought The Man From UNCLE had the best music for a TV series ever, and this three double CD release confirms this. Wow! I'd be just happy with one CD, but having SIX (three double CDs packages) is absolutely out of this world, I mean, a lifetime wait come true.

Indeed, this is an unbelievable collection of three double CDs packages with the complete series soundtrack, and I mean the complete music, not a tune is missing.

And this is the ORIGINAL Man From Uncle music. Let me stress the point: this is the four years ORIGINAL soundtrack with the original recordings as they were heard throughout the series, not a no-name orchestra doing personal versions of the stuff. The audio transfer is very, very good, the music from late episodes is even in stereo.

Each individual CD carries over 70 minutes of music. All in all there you have the four TV seasons main titles and all, absolutely all of TMFU unforgetable music.

This is not a chronological release, meaning, all CDs have a mix of music from all four TV seasons. Volume 1 is heavier on early TV seasons stuff, fans of Jerry Goldsmith will love it. Those of us who prefer what Gerald Fried and later Richard Shores did with TMFU music, then volume 2 is mandatory. If you are a fan, you can't miss any of these six CDs. However if buying all three double packages is too much for you, you must go with Volume 2, no questions asked. Volume three is the weakest of them as it brings "suites" and a whole CD with "The Girl From Uncle" soundtrack, but you have a bonus "Open Channel D" beeper.

Each package is gorgeous, each with a glossy color booklet with extensive liner notes with details on how each tune was written to a specific TV series episode and how it was used onwards. You have bios on the composers, on how the recordings were made, even an overview on how many instruments were available in each of the years the music was recorded.

So, throw away your Hugo Montenegro Man From Uncle CD, this is the REAL thing.

bob-your head type shizz.......2007-04-04

As a long-time Karl Denson and Greyboy Allstar fan, this is definitely one of my favorite albums to put on at a party or just by myself. I enjoy the overall smooth-funk vibe, the unexpected scratches from DJ Logic and the layers of instrumental grooves compliments of Melvin Sparks, Ron Levy, Chris Wood, Charlie Hunter and Zak Najor. This collaboration has a definite point of view and sound. For me, this is exactly the mixture of head-bobbing, funk-jazzy goodness any girl could want! I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do-- it never seems to get old!

I Love This CD.......2004-07-18

The title of the review says it all. Karl Denson is one the most talented saxophonists of this generation and some how is still far more obscure then he should be. Out of all of his discs this one is my all time fav, more so then his latest excellent disk "the bridge". You really get to hear him stretch out on this one. Also this was incredibly produced. This CD sonically, sounds incredible. Can't wait for his next release!!!!

Acid Jazz 4 Life.......2004-03-24

I've been listening to Karl Denson since 1993 94 when he was in the Greyboy Allstars. But at that tme would only see him live at cool clubs. That guy plays the flute and the sax in the same songs and it gives you chills. His energy on this CD definitely grooves, as he always has. I recomend this CD to anyone who likes to groove. I'm happy to be able to get his music on CD because Hawaii doesn't have that kind of music scene.
Aloha

Music Fans, I give you greatness........2003-10-07

This album is great. I LOVE Karl Denson's unique brand of music. I highly, highly reccomend this disc to any Jazz, Jamband, hip-hop or funk fan. Luckily I am one of each, so this disc was easy to enjoy. If you are a fan like me, get it now.

Una mezcla perfecta.......2003-02-14

Puede que hayas oido hablar del jazz fusión, o de la mezcla de funk y jazz. Bien, este trabajo es una excelente muestra de estos dos estilos, y en ocasiones, hay simpáticos acercamientos al acid jazz y al sonido más groove. Por eso me ha gustado tanto, yo recomiendo este "dance lessons" porque es muy agradable de escuchar.
Los arreglos son muy brillantes, y destacaría las canciones 5, 7 y 10. Sobre esta última, decir que son diez minutos de saxofón, ya que Karl Denson es un virtuoso de este instrumento, en los que se van alternando los "solos" con sonidos de órgano, guitarra eléctrica, percusión de influencia latina, incluso "scratching"... creando un sonido jazzístico maravilloso, no inédito, pero sí tremendamente agradable. Si te gustan cosas como Grant Green, sonidos groove pero modernos, el acid jazz o el jazz fusionado, creo que te va a gustar este disco.
Una seña de identidad que además aporta de por sí una cuidada producción es que este disco está editado por Verve, que en mi opinión ya es motivo suficiente para saber que el trabajo tiene calidad propia. Que te guste o no, eso ya es otra cosa.
Le doy cinco estrellas porque me parece un trabajo muy bueno. Lo recomiendo.

Essential for Prokofiev Fans.......2000-07-23

Although this is Prokofiev's second most popular ballet (next to 'Romeo and Juliet'), the complete ballet has been rarely recorded on LP or disc, the most famous being Andre Previn with the LSO, Ashkenazy with the Cleveland (recently re-released), and Pletnev's much heralded 1995 release w/ the Russian National Orchestra on DGG. Rozhdestvensky eclipses them all by a wide margin. Tempos are generally brisk. He accentuates the dark passages lurking within, adding dramatic tension in passages lacking in the other recordings. And his lines are stunning at times. Consider Previn's more popular account by comparison -- it is downright moribund and sluggish.

The orchestral suite from 'The Steel Step' is also excellent. It offers a glimpse into Prokofiev when he tried to write a ballet on Soviet themes at the behest of Sergei Diaghilev. It is a monotonous, steely, dissonant work, but vividly brought to life by Rozhdestvensky's expert conducting.

The only criticism of this title is the recording quality -- the liner notes do not indicate when it was actually recorded although it is likely from the 60s or 70s. As a result, aural defects typical of Soviet recording equipment of the period can be heard, namely shrill brass and tinny violins in the upper treble regions. However, this should not detract from the musicality of these recordings.

By far the very best recording.......1999-09-27

Rozhdestvensky's is by far the very best recording of Prokofiev's neglected ballet masterpiece. Neither Previn's nor Pletnev's comes anywhere near it.

I love this CD! It gets you up and going and you can find yourself wanting to jump around. My friend stayed at my house for a week and we listened to this every night before bed. The songs are fun to listen to and the listening to the CD becomes addicting.

This is a great Dance CD.......2000-09-20

This is a great compilation of Trance Music. It gets you moving even if you're just driving or sitting at the PC. There are great songs like "It's A Fine Day" by Rollergirl, "Your Own Reality", and "Too Late". I bought this CD about 8 months ago and my friend couldn't let go of it for the last 7 months I've "had" it. It's a great album. I highly recommend it. I gave it four stars because not all the songs are great. If I could, I would give the album 4.5 stars.
