Free Music Notes for Swing Kids: Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: EVERYBODY'S GOT TO SWING!
Hit: 5 Stars
when i first bought this cd in 1993, i was moving hell and high water to find this original soundtrack. in the philippines, this was not officially released. i have to order through a friend to finally have this soundtrack. while contemplating, i was able to buy other "swing" records by benny goodman (2 greatest hits cd with different tracks from sony legacy and bluebird records) and i really liked what i heard!
back to the orignal soundtrack - this is the only album where you can find the newly recorded version of louis prima's sing sing sing, originally recorded by benny goodman in 1937. this new version has been edited just right at 5 minutes! (the original recording, although monumental and great, is a staggering 12 minutes!) this is very reason i bought this cd (aside from i really liked the movie). sing sing sing was faithfully recorded and orchestrated by robert kraft. it really swings - to say the least - with state-of-the-art digital sound as compared to the original mono.
other great tracks here are the new renditions of daphne, shout and feel it, life goes to a party, and bie mir bist di schon - while maintaining the original monaural recordings of flat foot floogee, goodnight my love, swingtime in the rockies and it dont mean a thing (if it aint got that swing)!
swings kids - both the movie and soundtrack - will always be one of my all-time favorites in my collection.
buy it: if you like swing music all integrated in one good movie about the pre-war america-loving german kids and the challenges of the times that ultimately affected their friendship and loyalties.
avoid it: if you prefer original monaural recordings of great 1940s music or if you have already collected a great number of swing cds.
the tracks mentioned were also highlights of the movie. aside from james horner's excellent score, swing kids also boasts of great swing music from start to finish
