The Jazz Loves Disney CD is Almost Out

[perfectpullquote align=”full” cite=”” link=”” color=”#2162BB” class=”” size=”12″]I’m lucky to be part of this beautiful album and honored to share it with artists I have admired for many years. Jazz represents a huge part of my musical path where I keep returning. Disney marked my childhood, like most children, but as an adult I still have a great taste for fairy tales and imaginary. Being able to combine both in one album is fun and inspiring. The cherry on the cake was to revisit “let It go” which has been such a success the last few years. It’s a great way to discover those famous tracks and add fantasy and jazz to it. I’m proud to be part of it. – Anne Sila[/perfectpullquote]

Do you love Disney music? Especially the classic jazz versions? Then you’re in luck!! Disney is coming out with a new jazz album.  It amazes me how something that has been around for so many years, is still “new” to every generation.  Walt Disney was a genius and has made entertainment and family fun something that is still wholesome, enjoyable and great for all ages!

The new Jazz Loves Disney CD is amazing.  I love hearing the different sounds of the music that we are so used to.  The jazz version just gives it a different flavor, and a new way to enjoy it.  This will be perfect for holiday parties and time with family and friends.

My favorites are “When You Wish Upon A Star” by Gregory Porter and “You’ve Got A Friend In Me” by Hugh Coltman.  They have such a great sound to them, and would be something that young and old could sing together – or even dance to.  That’s pretty much all of the songs, but these two are my favorites.  Which one do you think you’ll like the best?  Let me know in the comments below.

About the Album:

We all have a Walt Disney cartoon tune or melody in mind, reminding us of magic afternoons spent with our parents when we were kids or with our own children now that we are grown-ups.

It is a bit of this special feeling and pleasure that artists such as Gregory Porter, Melody Gardot, Stacey Kent, Jamie Cullum and other leading music stars share with us on the new project produced by Jay Newland and arranged and directed by Rob Mounsey, as they perform big band jazz covers of songs that are part of every kids heritage.

Whether they come from Scandinavia, Andalusia, North America’s big cities or the Balkan plains, 21st century kids have the Disney magic in common, an imaginary world where both soft and wild tunes are closely linked to cult scenes from Uncle Walts animation classics.

Walt Disney loved jazz and paid great attention to the writing of the music accompanying his heroes adventures. Teams wrote and played the songs that at some point acted as catalysts of the emotions and personalities of unique characters such as Jiminy Cricket, Baloo, Tinker Bell or Toy Storys cowboy Woody. Several of these tunes have either been nominated for or won Academy Awards, a true acknowledgment of the quality of such beloved and enchanting future standards, which many jazz and pop stars have covered at some point in their career.

Jazz Loves Disney was recorded between Paris, London and Los Angeles by a dream cast. It is incredibly coherent, as if all participants had agreed to pay a rightful tribute to the most beautiful and symbolic tunes of Walt Disney’s magic world, as if nothing was too good for the stars when they revisited the classics and the sweet childhood memories connected to them.

This is the ultimate proof of the impact Disney has had on generations of jazz musicians, including the ones taking part in Jazz Loves Disney
