The absolute greatest EVER!.......2007-06-23

I have studied piano for over 30 years. I have been all over the US and have heard many of the greats: Peter Nero, Roger Williams, Liberace and Oscar Peterson. There is no doubt, all the aforementioned are excellent players, however, I would have exchanged seeing them all for a chance to have heard Cavallaro! His technique was flawless and he changed keys three times in most of his songs. Nobody puts in the little grace notes like he does, cause most people can't! Sure, he was not a super presence in the jazz field or on stages for classical concerts. However he defines the world of cocktail piano. It was even admitted by Liberace that he got the musical part of his act from Carmen Cavallaro.

One thing I don't understand is why he really never got his due. It is really hard to find info about Carmen. I would love to read his autobiography, or talk to some of his family members.

Anyway, this album will put a shiver down your spine with the usual Cavallaro magic. Despite the fact that some of the tracks are a little quiet, the talent still overwhelms you. I have just about every one of his alubums in vinyl, and have found this to be a great addition to my CD collection. You will too!

easy listening @ cocktail time.......2005-09-16

My review is not typical or routine because this is the type of music I listen to and try obtain. I find it relaxing and stress defiant. Carmen Cavallaro along with Beegie Adair are two of my favorites. Both good for background music at a dinner party.

He is the best I ever heard at cocktail piano.......2004-12-29

I study bepop style piano with a specialist in that area. He tells me all I ever need hear is Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Art Tatum, Lester Young, Thelonius Monk, etc. Well, ever since I saw this Carman Cavallaro CD and grabbed it I've been listening to it over and over. It gets better the more I listen to it. Cavallaro is amazing. You cannot go wrong buying this Cd. Cavallaro is the Art Tatum of cocktail piano. Wow. I'm blown away. He has turned cocktail piano into an art form. Great CD.

Waltzing Cavallaro.......2002-11-05

This album consists of mostly pre-war recordings, which sometimes affects sound quality. Selection includes also several recordings
from 1950-60 period, after Cavallaro disbanded his orchestra and decided again to perform as a soloist. For numerous enthusiasts of his decorative pianistics this album is hopefully the first among many to come.
Particularly the period 1950-1970 brought about many albums worth
attention: "Waltzing in the Dark", "The best of Carmen Cavallaro', "Carmen Cavallaro Remembers Eddy Duchin", "Poetry in Ivory" and many others, which deserve to be re-released on discs.
Reviewed CD will make happy all Cavallaro's fans and should become
shortly a collectible item. Nobody played like him and there is nobody who could replace his popular piano virtuosity.

Another great trip down the MFU memory lane.......2005-10-19

Volume 2 (comprised of 2 CDs) is another first rate compilation of the series' original music and not to be missed by U.N.C.L.E. fans. The liner notes are wonderful and add a lot to ones appreciation of the music.

My only problem is that THE CDs ARE COPY PROTECTED! Considerable work is needed to get the music onto your iPod, if you really want the music in your mp3 collection. This is a major hassle and a surprise, since the first set in the series was not copy protected.

The best of the three Double CDs ORIGINAL soundtrack release.......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.
