After the successful Jazz Loves Disney, a 2016 album of newly recorded takes on classic Disney tunes by various artists, Verve is releasing another one subtitled “A Kind of Magic.” It’s the hot swing that really flies on this new CD.
Doing Jazz covers of some Disney classic songs is an odd choice for a project, with a wide range of different artists, many of which aren’t mainstream, but giving us some unique takes on well known classics. Some of the songs work as covers with a Jazz style, many other tracks just feel like the artist took an idea so far from the original, that they lost what made them so loved.
Walt Disney was a big fan of jazz and this musical style is very present in the soundscape of the Disney universe. The idea of arranging the greatest Disney classics with jazzy sauce works so well and shows us how these songs are universal and timeless.
