Normally I would avoid any new recordings to come from Walt Disney Records (I adore those Disneyland/Buena Vista reissues, though - thanks, Randy!), but when I saw this new CD - - Disney Bossa Nova - - the atypically artful and attractive retro-modernist color and design on the package - with no funky Mickeys on it - - made me curious.
So did the concept: "Brazil's legends of bossa nova perform Disney classics" - - No Raven? No Lindsay Lohan? - - - Then the track line-up: In a World of My Own? One Song? True classics? - - Not songs from Mowgli 2 and Radio Disney? What's up here? Were the MBAs on vacation?
I took the chance - - the liner notes were really pretty too... AHA!!! It was produced by Walt Disney Records JAPAN - and is being reissued domestically!
And it sounds good! It's good for your Disney Lounge collection too... (oh, I'm the only one who has one? ok)
