This latest effort, "My America" features Jim Self and a dozen of his closest friends, who all just happen to be leading studio musicians in the toughest recording market in the world, Los Angeles, California. This project features "real" music for "real people." From the sublime to the ridiculous doesn't ever begin to describe this incredible musical adventure. There is literally something here for everybody. We need an "adjective vocabulary list" to try and convey the essence of "My America" with words that express the musical extremes from poignant to swing, from surreal to hokey, from polka to bebop! But then, after all, this is a musical portrait of the most diverse nation in the world: America!
Customer Review: a CD for any music lover
An excellent CD! Anybody that has never heard the tuba family of instruments play a melody, this is one not to be missed. Alot of songs are American classics, with a low brass twist. Jim Self's Fluba (a tuba sized flugel horn) is an awesome instrument, both on this CD & with seeing & hearing it in person.
