CD Reviews

Pleasing to diverse musical tastes

06/30/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"We play this CD in a restaurant where I work. We usually play a lot of jazz, some Latin music, and now old style Calypso. This music reminds me of thirties style jazz artists, but with island style. The lyrics are fun, the music is gently rythmic and playful...think of a quieter version of "Day-O" in the movie Beetle Juice.--Makes you wanna shimmy."

"Picture you are in the 1930's. A seaplane takes off in the water in a harbor as you watch the sun go down. Vintage saling ships and merchant steam boats bob in the water. The warm evening breeze blows palm leaves and the smell of afro-carribean cooking mingles with flowering bouganvilla and hibiscus. You are sitting in a restaurant as ceiling fans stir cigar smoke and the background sounds of a calypso band play for your enjoyment. Tourism hasn't exploited this island yet and you realize just how far away from home you actually are.These recordings will take you to this time and place."
