4 out of 5 stars A True Tribute to the King of Pop.......2004-11-13

This CD is a very true tribute to the King of Pop. I know its a little odd hearing these songs done in swing style, but overall, its pretty fun. It's neat to hear such muscial classics being played in different a format. I really enjoyed this CD. Now, if you like this CD, check into Count Basie's Beatle Bag which is Count Basie doing a Jazz Version of Classic Beatle songs. So, if you dig this, I guarantee you'll dig Count Basie's Beatle Bag!

1 out of 5 stars Swing = Blah.......2003-08-01

I easily grew very tired by the swing sound on this CD.
To begin with, half of the songs don't even sound like what they're supposed to. (Example: Billie Jean)
This completely ruins the objective of trying to reproduce MJ's songs.

So, unless you're a big fan of swing music, I strongly suggest you stick to the original music.

5 out of 5 stars Really COOL!!.......2002-04-24

I wish MJ Himself would do something along these lines on Himself.this is so Cool MJ's Music with Swing Arrangements&Grooves.it would have been so cool to Hear songs from the 90's like In the CLoset,Remember The Time,Stranger in Moscow,Jam, done in this Format.but this is a Cool Set&I really enjoy it.it would be so cool if MJ did a Unplugged based on this format.

4 out of 5 stars The Very True Tribute..........2000-07-13

This is one of the best tribute to Michael Jackson I have ever heard. There are '80's hits of Michael Jackson such as Thriller and Billie Jean. These two songs represent the Michael and the '80's with there smooth, yet danceable sounds. Who can forget the catchy line from Thriller or the ultra-smooth sound of Billie Jean. Michael closed out the '80's with his hip song Bad which is not only hip but a new kick into what Michael had in store for us. This album contains older songs from the '70's such as ABC which is pure fun-lovin groove. Rock with You is a sleek shakable song with great, touchable lyrics. Don't Stop 'till you Get Enough explains its self. You cannot get enough of the beat and all you want to do is dance. This CD is excellent, although I would have loved to hear some '90's classics on it such as Remeber the Time, Dangerous, and You are Not Alone. The CD is a total time line of Michael's work and I totally recommend it to any Michael Jackson fan.
