This is a very nice album. I loved the music while watching the movie. I finally got it when I was in the CD store last night. I wish they could include "I can't stop loving you", and improve the recording a bit. Overall a very very nice album with mixed type of music.

I recommand it wholeheartly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best soundtrack in the world, April 19, 2002

This music is the best I have ever listened too. The dixie land music makes this movie seem more realistic. Only two of the songs have words , but that is fine with me. My favorite tracks are 1,3,6,10,12 through 15,19,20. I know thats alot but all of them are excellent. They all or most of them have brass insuments. If you know anything about this movie it makes the songs even better. Song 20 by minako "mooki" Obata is such a wonderful song when I listen to it I don't notice anything else. Also yes this movie is originally from Japan But the songs with words are in English. I don't know why. Well hopes this hepls make you want to buy this CD. Hope you enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars For people who loved the movie and jazz fans alike, April 5, 2004

There are two different types of tracks in this CD: there are those that sound like a movie soundtrack (in other words, you might need to have seen the movie to get the picture), and there are tracks that are downright great jazz. I played this at my home, and my father was tapping his feet to the opening theme.

This jazz is not the "smooth jazz" you hear in book stores. This is the kind of jazz you can imagine played at night clubs during the 30's, with musicians gathering together to play simply for the sake of music. From the opening "Metropolis" to the whacky "El Bombero" and the drumming "Run" this is music you can simply enjoy. If you haven't seen the movie, but you like jazz or the blues, then by all means buy this CD. Except for "St. James Infirmary" this is all original music, and the people who worked on it are gods of music themselves.

Buy it, pop it in, listen, and let the music take you over.
