Anastasia: Music From The Motion Picture (1997 Version)
: :One of the more successful attempts by another studio (here Fox) to make a quality animated film on par with Disney was Anastasia. The music by David Newman and songs by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (the Broadway team that won a Tony for Ragtime) give the movie a sturdy backbone. From the Zhivago-gone-Broadway opening number 'A Rumor in St. Petersburg' to the Oscar-nominated get-up-and-sing 'Journey to the Past,' the CD is filled with bright numbers, including low-key pop versions of several of the songs. The vocal talent is exceptional, especially ...

Harry for the Holidays
: :Call him the retro Sinatra, the keeper of the big band flame, the swingin' piano man, but Harry Connick Jr., remains one of New Orleans' treasures. His second Christmas CD is as much a salute to his hometown musical roots as it is to the season. Filled with second-line arrangements and fierce horn charts that could blow all that holiday chill back to Canada, Connick's latest revisits upbeat standards such as 'Frosty The Snowman,' 'Blue Christmas,' 'Santa Claus Is Coming to Town,' and others. Most swing and romp, but the hymns ...
