As tasty as the sizzling dish of chicken, plantains, and black beans that adorns its cover, this 18-track compilation is a serious must-own for anyone even vaguely interested in the percolating Afro-Latin sounds of the '50s, '60s, and '70s. Latin jazz giants like Machito, Tito Puente, and Willie Bobo are represented by some of their finest cuts ("Relax and Mambo," "Hong Kong Mambo," and "Fried Neckbones and Some Home Fries," respectively). Lesser-known talents like Pucho and His Latin Soul Brothers ("Heat!"), Kako & His Orchestra ("Shingaling Shingaling"), and Ocho ("Undress My Mind") damn near steal the show with their funk-inflected brilliance. --Dan Epstein

Este albun, cargado de variedad sonora latina de los 60 y 70, tiene una de las peores caratulas que he visto, pero con un contenido exquisito para el coleccionista. Welcome to the party de Har You Percussion Group, versión original del famoso mix de Jazzanova y otras rarezas para verdaderos bailarines. Como dice Joe Cuba: amarencen bien!!!

5 out of 5 stars SABROSO!!!.......2003-05-24

If you want to know how latin music lovers partied in the 1960's, this is the CD to have. All the greats are on this like Joe Cuba, Mongo Santamaria, Tito Puente, Tito Rodriguez, Willie Bobo, Willie Rosario and more.

"Picadillo" by the legends Eddie Palmieri and Cal Tjader stills blows everybody away. The song is hardcore latin jazz at its best. If you love to cha cha, you'll go crazy for "Undress My Mind" by Ocho, and "Fried Neckbones and Home Fries" by Willie Bobo. Plenty of Mambo, Salsa, Boogaloo, Cha Cha Cha on this one. If you like to dance play this whole CD at your next party, your guests, young or old, will spin the night away!

5 out of 5 stars "Must Have" for fans of Latin Jazz.......2000-07-23

The ultimate test is that I never get tired of listening to this one. Just listen to the first song cranked up; "Fried Neck Bones and Some Home Fries." It's one of those tunes with some much atmosphere and spirit that you can't get it out of your head. The entire CD is a collection of similar great stuff. If you are getting started with Lating Jazz and want to know what it is all about, this is the perfect place to start. If you know all about Latin Jazz, you will hear new angles on this one. Buy it. Crank it. Play it!

5 out of 5 stars awesome! salsa/mambo/watusi for those who truly neeeed it!.......1998-12-31

The only honest comment I could make would be: "when is the next volume coming out?" A great collection of sensual, foot-tapping, hip swinging latino groove that can only open eyes to the hidden resources of great latino music not currently within the marketing scheme of major latin labels. Buy it only if you like to stay up late and have fun.

5 out of 5 stars Disney Always Rocks.......2005-09-29

Yeah looks like it's a great get, if you haven't already got every CD by disney. Didn't know the song You'll be In my Hear was a Tarzan track. Must be a spin off to You'll be in My Heart. Its all good.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome collection!.......2003-10-19

I have to say, that with a 5 year old who is obsessed with the movies that these songs go with, it has made the perfect gift! She spends hours listening to this CD while doing more productive activities than sitting in front of a TV watching the movie. The songs are special to her because of the movies, and she actually does her schoolwork well with these fun songs playing. As a music lover and a Disney lover, we both agree at 5 and 30 that this is a hit.

5 out of 5 stars For adult listeners, the Disney songs sung by "real" singers.......2003-07-22

Trivia Challenge: Included in the 16 tracks on "Disney's Superstar Hits" is the only song from a Disney film to hit #1 on the Billboard Pop Charts. See if you can remember which one it is before I give the answer away at the end. No peaking ahead.

The songs collected on "Disney's Superstar Hits" are mostly from the 1990s; there is "Once Upon a Time in New York City" from way back in 1988 from "Oliver and Company" and a few songs from the 21st century. But the only golden oldie is "Put It Together (Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo)," which comes from "Cinderella II" and not the original. The obvious frame of reference would be to see this collection as representing the Disney Renaissance ushered in by the Alan Menken/Howrad Ashman era, which makes it strange that nothing from "Little Mermaid" is included. But the common denominator to this collection is that the songs are not sung by the characters from these films, or, more properly, the people who did the voices for the characters. So instead of Angela Landsbury doing "Beauty and the Beast" it is Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson.

There are several songs from the less than stellar direct to video Disney sequels, such as "The Hunchback of Notre Dame II," "The Lion King II: Return to Pride Rock," "and "Cinderella II," which would be a minor complaint. But Tina Turner sings one of the songs, so it is hard to complain. In fact, the strength of this collection is indeed the superstar singers. Most of them are blasts from the past such as Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Phil Collins, Sting, Huey Lewis, and Randy Newsman, but there is also new blood such as Christina Aguilera, Sarah McLachlan, Vanessa Williams, and even Jennifer Love Hewitt. Peabo Bryson comes out ahead, with the aforementioned "Beauty and the Beast" and another duet, "A Whole New World" with Regina Belle.

This disc is perfect for grown ups, who like the "real" singers singing the best songs from the Disney movies their kids have been dragging them to for the past decade. Vanessa William's "Colors of the Wind" is my personal favorite, although it is hard not to recall the fantastic opening of "The Lion King" when you hear Elton John do "Circle of Life." On the fun side of the ledger I like Randy Newman and Lyle Lovett working their collective ways through "You've Got a Friend in Me" a bit more than Jimmy Cliff and Lebo M's "Hakuna Matata."

Trivia Answer: "A Whole New World" was #1 on the Billboard Pop Chart for one week starting on March 6, 1993. It is the song that replaced Whitney Houston's cover of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" after 14 weeks on top.

4 out of 5 stars Good CD.......2002-12-29

This is a great CD, but I was kind of disappointed that there weren't more tracks on it. Other than that, you and your kids will be singing along in the car for sure.

4 out of 5 stars Klassical KISS..........2004-06-25

KISS tribute albums started cropping up more than a decade ago very quickly oversaturating this market with a multitude of cds of varying quality (Hard To Believe, KISS of Death, Spacewalk). Now comes a tribute cd that offers a fresh and unique take on old KISS classics. Classical orchestration has long been a staple of KISS' repertoire, going back to the string ensemble used for the mega-hit Beth in 1976 progressing to the orchestral leanings and gregorian style chanting of the Elder album (1981) to the symphonic version of Black Diamond on their official KISS My A** tribute album to 2003's full blown KISS Symphony project.
This quartet interprets both well known KISS tunes (Detroit Rock City, Rock and Roll All Night) and more obscure material (Goin' Blind). Some of the choices are downright offbeat, a string quartet version of the funky Ace Frehley number New York Groove...surely you jest...but what is remarkable is how well it works.
Undisputed highlights are the beautiful renditions of Hard Luck Woman, Goin' Blind and Beth. The quartet incorporates subtle new parts that compliment these well loved melodies tremendously. Love Gun and I Was Made For Lovin' You are extremely powerful renditions also, if not just a little too reminiscent of the KISS Symphony cd and dvd. Even overplayed numbers like Calling Dr.Love and Rock and Roll All Nite are given new life by this incredibly talented ensemble.
From the Rock and Roll Over album influenced cover art to the last strains of New York Groove, this unique tribute cd is a winner all the way.

5 out of 5 stars From a (classic) KISS and Classical music Fan!.......2004-04-23

EXCELLENT! I just bought this CD, and have already listened to it a half dozen times. I am a HUGE fan from the classic KISS years (1974-1979 - the years with Peter and Ace in the group).
If you are a KISS fan, and also like string quartet music, you will love this. If you are a fan of either (KISS or string quartet music), you will have a better appreciation and like for both after purchasing and hearing this CD.
These guys give the correct respect to classic KISS performance and it is especially seen in the string harmonies, and Ace's guitar solos in each song (except of course "Beth" which didn't have a solo by Ace until the "Unplugged" CD). The only down side of this are the songs that aren't on it, but hopefully that will mean a Volume 2!

GREAT CD!

4 out of 5 stars This Nonet Swings!.......2003-02-10

Why a nonet? Because this combination of nine players gives the driving swing of a big band with the improvizational flexibility of a small group. All the musicians on this recording are superb. Personnel include Jim Cifelli as leader, composer trumpeter and flugelhornist; Andy Gravish, trumpet and flugelhorn; Cliff Lyons, alto and soprano sax; Barbara Cifelli, bari sax, C and alto flute and bass clarinet; Joel Frahm, tenor sax; Pete McCann, guitar; Mary Ann McSweeney, bass; and Tim Horner, drums.

Most of the eight selections are Jim Cifelli compositions with the exception of Fe Fi Fo Fum/Epeak No Evil and Cole Porter's What Is this Thing Called Love?

If you like tight, swinging arrangements and soaring trumpets, this album is for you. I was particularly impressed with the baritone saxophone work of Barbara Cifelli, Peter McCann's tasteful guitar and the string bass work of Mary Ann McSweeney.

Album Description

NY-based keyboard player, composer and production specialist Mike Di Lorenzo provides his own brand of New York chill featuring a fresh blend of contemporary jazz with Hip-Hop, Latin and R&B elements. "Joe Sample, George Duke, Down To The Bone, and Michael Brecker aficionados will be well-served with this assortment of urban instrumental arrangements which highlight Mike's various influences and versatile writing, playing and production style."

11 original fresh, funky, instrumental compositions and an outstanding remake of Stevie Wonder's "Too High" make up this very musically hip and groove-oriented CD. By incorporating contemporary rhythms and textures with the musicianship of some of New York's finest, Mike is able to incorporate his varied experiences and wide range of musical influences into an impressive and tasteful debut. "The idea behind the CD is to connect with the rhythms and grooves that are happening today and hopefully provide an interesting blend where melody and harmonic creativity can be incorporated with popular rhythm formats."

4 out of 5 stars Chill with a splash of Smooth!!.......2005-07-06

Mike Di Lorenzo has had his work showcased on the radio program, "Chill with Chris Botti". His style is a mix between Herbie Hancock, Alex Bugnon and David Benoit. The CD is very much "Chill", Downtempo, Latin and the Rick Braun inspired trumpet on some his tracks makes it a very good listen. The comparison is clear on the tracks "Loosey Goose" & "Severance", which displays his diverse keyboard talents. My personal favorite tracks were the title track and "West 47th". Di Lorenzo's CD is very smooth and hip. It's a hidden gem that listeners will not be disappointed with.

4 out of 5 stars wasn't NU Groove's catalog a bit larger than this!?.......2002-02-10

Little Louie does it again...blah blah blah...
Although it's an above average compilation, it fails to really capture the innovative, uncompromising essence that was once NU Groove (and Burrell), as other, even better, tracks were left out!
Louie has played many NU Groove tracks before, it's not like he's unfamiliar w/ the label, but still...
Also, at least 5 additional tracks could've been "mixed" into this compilation, if they really wanted to mix it.
This wouldn't appeal to most of the younger cats, but I would strongly advise them to research NU Groove on 12" vinyl format!

2 out of 5 stars A Bumpy, mediocre ride at best........2001-05-15

Being a fan of Little Louie Vega I expected much much more from this cd. I was very disappointed and I caution anyone looking for the greatness of some other Louie Vega house music works to look elsewhere. This dance set reminds me of the music dj's play at clubs before midnight, you know, before the party actually starts. There is no continuity to the set at all and it sounds like Louie was given ten records to mix as best he could. I hate to think there were other records to choose from to make this set. The mixing is good but the music selection is less than average. The only tracks worth mentioning on this cd are "I'm Glad You Came To Me", "I Desire You", and "Somebody Skat'n." The rest is average or just plain bad. Tracks 2 & 10 could have very easily been left off this compilation. This cd would have been a little better if the music weren't mixed, thus the listener would at least know the various tracks weren't necessarily supposed to go together. I can't even imagine trying to dance to this entire cd non-stop. Without the three tracks I really liked, the rating would've been my first ever 1 star. What we have here is a dj's nightmare and just because a skilled dj can mix anything, doesn't mean it's to be done!

5 out of 5 stars Get Ya Hands on This One.......2000-11-05

Here's a combination of mixing and production I was delightfully surprised to see; with Louie Vega and Rheji Burrell collaborating to bring a great sampling of the Burrell's work from the legendary label, Nugroove. Rheji and Ronald's contribution to the classic New York house sound is extraordinary. This CD contains some tracks not included in previous NuGroove compilations, such as, "I'm Glad You Come To Me", "Somebody Skat'n", and "I Desire U". Even this CD does not begin to cover the amount of excellent tracks by the Burrell's NuGroove years, but any chance to find more of their classic material released on CD is a treasure.

5 out of 5 stars Classic early 90's Garage.......2000-06-18

I have this cd, and it is fantastic. Songs I listened to on the radio and in the clubs in NYC. When I purchased it I only recalled knowing some of the songs by name. Once I listened I realized I knew almost all of the songs. Excellent buy for those true house (garage) fans.

    5 out of 5 stars Steve Zaccone - Global.......2004-02-10

    Steve Zaccone Is a Class DJ.

    He tears the decks every week at Soundgarden NJ, this CD gives you a small idea of what he can do. Slick mixing and a banging soundtrack, buy it, enjoy it and go see him live!!!!

    3 out of 5 stars Not great, but not bad either..........2003-07-14

    This cd is not that bad, but I don't think there are many great songs on it either. A lot of them sound very similar and many sound like older songs, looping segments from 80s songs. Megamixes I always like because they play snippets of all the songs. But my favorite songs on this cd are:

    Intro
    End-- I like it because it reminds me of that song on Pure Moods "Tubular Bells"
    Blow the speakers--I heard it at a club and istantly liked it.
    Get up boy
    Follow me
    Fantasy-- I like the way the woman sings on it
    Blow the speakers (remix)
    Final Chapter-- even though it sounds a lot like 3. This was also on a Louie Devito cd I believe.

    The rest of the songs on the cd aren't horrible, but they are on the boring side and really don't compliment some of the other songs. Overall its an ok cd, but I'm sure you can find a lot better out there.

    5 out of 5 stars FIERCE UNDERGROUND CD!!! ANOTHER HIT FROM DIESELGROOVE.......2002-09-26

    FIERCE UNDERGROUND CD.REAL GOOD TRACK SELECTION ALONG WITH WELL PLANNED OUT PROGRAMMING OF THE CD.STEVIE ZACCONE GIVES A REAL STRONG AND SMOOTH MIXING APPROACH.
    ANOTHER HIT FROM DIESELGROOVE.I ALSO RECOMMEND THEIR SATURDAY NIGHT DANCE PARTY SERIES ALSO ALONG WITH ULTRA DANCE SERIES.
    MUST HAVE.
