Village Grove
The KIPP Academy
Volume II
(2003)
No trace of Volume I, or this Volume for that matter on the web. A CD of Middle School kids doing renditions of rhythmic pop hits such as Gloria Estefan, Diana Ross, the Theme to Shaft and medleys to hits from Motown, Marvin Gaye and this one titled Village Grove, a medley of songs by the Village People.
Think of it like a middle school Salsoul Orchestra!
From the liner notes:
"The 2002-2003 school year marked the sixth consecutive year that KIPP Academy was the highest performing public middle school in the entire Bronx...
The 180-piece KIPP String and Rhythm Orchestra is widely regarded among the finest middle school orchestras in the nation..."
