Editorial Reviews

It's well known that Walt Disney loved jazz music, but aside from his personal relationship with Louis Armstrong that he used to coax the jazz trumpet great to record an album's worth of Disney songs in 1966, the catalog of jazz music from the Disney family of labels has been rather small....until now. "Everybody Wants To Be A Cat" is a brand new collection of 13 classic Disney songs recorded by a mix of Jazz luminaries and newcomers that have risen to the top of the crop of future Jazz greats.

If you LOVE Disney and Jazz, this is the BEST of BOTH combined!!! Like having cream in your coffee on a Sunny Spring morning! You will love this CD, which includes a song by Grammy Award winning Esperanza Spalding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Old Disney/Pixar Tunes Made New March 17, 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
A collection of jazz works performed and dedicated to a common theme is too rare these days. Individual artists have taken on Disney tunes before, but in this album, we hear some jazz greats, on separate tracks, including Dave Brubeck, Diane Reeves, Joshua Redman, Esperanza Spalding, Regina Carter, Roy Hargrove, and Roberta Gambarini. The arrangement by Spalding of Chim-Chim Cher-ee is extraordinary, and Alfredo Rodriques does some creative piano work on the Bare Necessities. We also hear the guitars of Kurt Rosenwinkel and Gilad Hekselman. The title says "Vol. 1"; will there be a Volume 2? These musicians did record other tunes to take advantage of this unique opportunity (Brubeck recorded a total of four); hence, if sales warrant, there should indeed be a follow-up album. So, spread the word! This is a very fine album that takes some familiar and not so common Disney (that corporate umbrella covers Pixar, too) melodies and makes them new.

It is a smooth way of hearing Disney music. Saw it while on a recent trip to WDW, came home to listen first, then promptly bought! Great versions of many classics.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY cool! June 5, 2012
Format:MP3 Music|Amazon Verified Purchase
Dad (me) loves jazz.

The kids? Not so much. Mom? Not at all.

This album may well end up making jazz fans out of them all.

It really is great jazz, not some pop-jazz gimmick. And because the tunes are familiar and beloved, the music is more accessible to the kids and they can better appreciate the jazz interpretations. It's exciting because you can see they are starting to "get" jazz more.

In addition to just being a great jazz album, the songs being performed by various artists results in a highly varied album that is hard to tire of.

And the creative -- and sometimes brilliant -- approaches these artists take to these songs just adds another layer of coolness to this album.
