Album Description
Generally regarded as the Russian Wynton Marsalis, saxophonist Igor Butman's new release, Magic Land, features ten recordings of popular cartoon themes from his native country. With an all-star band including Chick Corea on piano, drummer Jack DeJohnette, bassist John Papitucci, Randy Brecker on Trumpet and Stefon Harris on vibes, Magic Land shows off both Butman's incredible skills as well as his playful side. As Jack DeJohnette, who also produced the album, writes in the liner notes, "I like Igor's tone, sound, Energy. I listened to the music and I thought it's an interesting concept for recording. This cartoon music is part of the Russian culture. It has a historical value as well...People will see cartoon feelings through some of the pieces, but also see the different jazz approach that musicians bring".

Awesome disk July 20, 2008
Sofia Muller (Chicago, Il, USA)
This is a very well-done disc, I'm recommending it to all my friends who, like me, grew up with these melodies. You can have this disc playing for adults at a summer bbq and both adults and kids will be happy. Or put this on at a Russian-speaking cocktail party, and see everyone's faces when they recognize the tunes!

K. Shevchenko (Kyiv, Ukraine)
If you ever lived in USSR and like Russian cartoones as I do, you should not lose your chance to purchase this CD. As you start listening to it you'll immediately return back to your childhood. Music is just amazing. Very nice jazz arrangement to the most famous motifs makes you to listen it again and again. And every time you listen to it you'll fing new details, new rhythms, new depth. Highly recommended, especially to those ex-USSR citizens.
