Hargrove delivers a sprightly, hard bop rendition of the sparkling 'Everybody Wants to Be A Cat,' from 1970's The AristoCats, while accordionist Gil Goldstein provides the haunting opening to Esperanza Spalding's creative arrangement of 'Chim Chim Cher-ee,' from Mary Poppins (1964), the bassist later vocalizing along with her bowed lines to underscore the song's evocative moodīrubeck gets two selections: first, a swinging version of 'Someday My Prince Will Come,' from 1937's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, where the pianist breezes through the lilting melody, before coming on strong with his trademark chordal fury later, he gives fine accompaniment to singer Roberta Gambarini on the theme song to Alice in Wonderland (1951).
