 Michael in high-stepping swing! Loving its uniqueness. Let's dance! January 10, 2010
belletoujours (USA)
No, not a new tribute, but nonetheless, a very nice 2000 tribute to our beautiful Michael!
"Magnifique", the French would say!!! Die-hard music lover? Die-hard Michael lover? Michael himself would be thoroughly proud of this one in his honor/as a tribute. Granted, it's hard to swing to I'll Be There and Ben, yet the arrangements lend a wonderful uniqueness...smooth, easy-listening...to the two songs.
This MJ tribute is a beautiful, hot "infusion" of the sounds of Motown and Big Band. This one truly `swings', and truly to my liking. 'Don't Stop Til You Get Enough' really and truly "swings"!!!
As for my taste, the ending song The Way You Make Me Feel, has a tempo that's a tad too slow...seems to lack that high-stepping spirit that I remember in the rhythmic strut of Michael's various female dancers...video, tour, stage performances. Also, the sax solo at the end of this track is performed well, but I found it too long, boring and showboat-ish. My spouse said he didn't like the ending either.... too much sax in the stretch, he thought.
Nonetheless, I agree wholeheartedly that the arrangement is an "enchanting collection", and I personally recommend it to all lovers of both MICHAEL and MUSICAL STYLES. It is well worth my cash...I gave these instrumentals a five max.
 A True Tribute to the King of Pop November 12, 2004
K. D Parker (Mountain View, CA United States)
This CD is a very true tribute to the King of Pop. I know its a little odd hearing these songs done in swing style, but overall, its pretty fun. It's neat to hear such muscial classics being played in different a format. I really enjoyed this CD. Now, if you like this CD, check into Count Basie's Beatle Bag which is Count Basie doing a Jazz Version of Classic Beatle songs. So, if you dig this, I guarantee you'll dig Count Basie's Beatle Bag!

I easily grew very tired by the swing sound on this CD.
To begin with, half of the songs don't even sound like what they're supposed to. (Example: Billie Jean)
This completely ruins the objective of trying to reproduce MJ's songs.So, unless you're a big fan of swing music, I strongly suggest you stick to the original music.
Really COOL!! April 24, 2002

I wish MJ Himself would do something along these lines on Himself.this is so Cool MJ's Music with Swing Arrangements&Grooves.it would have been so cool to Hear songs from the 90's like In the CLoset,Remember The Time,Stranger in Moscow,Jam, done in this Format.but this is a Cool Set&I really enjoy it.it would be so cool if MJ did a Unplugged based on this format.
The Very True Tribute... July 13, 2000

This is one of the best tribute to Michael Jackson I have ever heard. There are '80's hits of Michael Jackson such as Thriller and Billie Jean. These two songs represent the Michael and the '80's with there smooth, yet danceable sounds. Who can forget the catchy line from Thriller or the ultra-smooth sound of Billie Jean. Michael closed out the '80's with his hip song Bad which is not only hip but a new kick into what Michael had in store for us. This album contains older songs from the '70's such as ABC which is pure fun-lovin groove. Rock with You is a sleek shakable song with great, touchable lyrics. Don't Stop 'till you Get Enough explains its self. You cannot get enough of the beat and all you want to do is dance. This CD is excellent, although I would have loved to hear some '90's classics on it such as Remeber the Time, Dangerous, and You are Not Alone. The CD is a total time line of Michael's work and I totally recommend it to any Michael Jackson fan.
