5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievably exciting and vein popping music, November 3, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: My Charmed Life (Audio CD)

These guys are without peer in the music world (in my opinion.) Little Jack Melody's writing is top notch, kind of a mix between raucous show tunes and sophisticated pop, the tunes run the gamut of jazz, klezmer, tango, bossa, variety show and every other musical genre you can think of. The band, which I found out are all current or former music students, is outstanding able to interpret Melody's music with swift precision. Get this album!

I teach drawing at an art school in Chicago. I discovered My Charmed Life in a used CD store and fell in love with it, both for the performance and the brilliant song writing - sometimes comical, sometimes moving, always intelligent.
In fact, every year, I use the song "Samba Ordinaire" in a lecture as an example of a work that has all the elements that make great art.

My seventeen-year-old daughter loves it almost as much as I do.

Wonderful. A little bit of everything. I call them a melodically smooth band with a ocassional slam polka thrown in. These guys played for my wedding in 1994, what an honor.
