The Jungle Book
"....a jungle beat of thunderous music and vigorous dance routines - eliciting a wildly enthusiastic response with every number." Time Out The show's set is colourful and imaginative, the music jazzy (I still have some of those songs ringing around my head) and the show great fun for children and adults. The Jungle Book looks set to be Birmingham Stage Company's most successful show yet." Birmingham Post “Packed with great songs,
this is the real deal. I urge you to get your tickets pronto! A
terrific afternoon out!” “When you are up against a Disney classic
loved by millions, you have your work cut out to produce a show
that’s entertaining, fast moving and fun in comparison. The
Birmingham Stage Company does exactly that with its production of
THE JUNGLE BOOK. The highlights are the foot-tapping new
songs, every one as catchy as those in the film. It’s
fun, it’s poignant and it’s entertainment at its very
best. A true children’s hit. Catch it while you can”. “Lion King beware! A new herd of animals
now roaming the country is about to challenge your supremacy in
the West End of London. An adventure story full of thrills, spills,
excitement and fun - spiced with love and tenderness - and enjoyed
by an audience ranged from five to eighty-five!” |
Uneasy Street: The Music of BB Cooper featuring Barb Jungr and Ian Shaw "BB Cooper hearkens back to a time when names like Berlin, Rodgers or Bacharach were equal in importance to those of the band and the singer. There is no one else in the mainstream, or any stream for that matter, who is able to release albums comprised entirely of their own new music and have it performed as eloquently." Elliott Simon, All About Jazz click here for full review
The Music Of BB Cooper"BB Cooper writes good melodies and fits them to lyrics with uncommon flair" "songs that are destined to be the standards
of the future" "Here's a double treat: some of the
best of the current crop of Brit singers singing the songs of BB
Cooper." "Many of the tunes bring to mind those
classic Bacharach/Warwick collaborations with stylish yet easy going
melodies. Like Bacharach, Cooper also draws from a myriad of styles
that include Latin, cool, swing, classical, soul and the blues to
present a vehicle for engaging vocal interpretation." Saracubana: The Stewart Curtis Trio plays BB Cooper "a highly listenable showcase
for Ms. Cooper's songs that pull inspiration from Jazz, Classical,
Klezmer and Latin." "...has to be essential in any contemporary
jazz collection and will also be at home in any good contemporary
klezmer or general world music collection." |
