| Dave Digs Disney / Dave Brubeck : 4 of 5 | |

 I have quite a little collection of contemporary arrangements of classic Disney music, so I had to add this CD to my collection (I bought it during Christmas shopping as a way to get free shipping at Amazon). I figured this would be a nice set of tunes, but I never expected it to be this good - these are some fantastic tracks! The line-up is a simple quartet (piano, alto saxophone, bass, and drums), and they really make these songs something spectacular (and the selection of songs is really good, too!). My favorite is probably Heigh-Ho, which is set to a brisk cut-time tempo and uses the verse ("We dig, dig, dig...") as an awesome intro. I love the tunes from Alice in Wonderland (but mainly because I love those songs themselves), but Someday My Prince Will Come takes the cake with a 3/4 arrangement while the drums play 4/4! When You Wish Upon a Star is fun to sing with, since they swing the Jiminy out of it, turning it into a lounge tune. I only wish Brubeck had recorded a follow-up CD with more Disney coolness!
