O’s Notes: The combination of Disney and jazz spells creativity! It has been that way for many years as jazz artists embrace the music of Disney and add their spin. This one is a certain celebration with Roy Hargrove setting the stage opening with the swinging title track. Esperanza Spalding puts her magic into “Chim Chim Cher-ee”; Joshua Redman puts a hard bop twist to “You’ve Got A Friend In Me” and Diane Reeve sings “He’s A Tramp” with soulful grace. These are just a few of the gems represented! This is a fine set of jazz classics performed by an all-star cast. ‘Can’t miss.
