This disc covers the music featured throughout the first season of
Class of 3000,
The Cartoon Network's series about a music star named
Sunny Bridges -- voiced by
OutKast's
André 3000, an executive producer of the show whose real life somewhat reflects that of
Bridges -- who drops his career to give back to his community as a music teacher. There are 14 brief but full songs here, many of which showcase the talents of drummer
Li'l D, harpist
Tamika, percussionist
Kim, keyboardist
Kam, bassist
Philly Phil, clarinetist
Edward, and violinist
Madison.
Bridges is the main star, however, guiding the kids through a broad range of styles, from
funk to
classical to
jazz (and, naturally,
hip-hop). There's a lot of character, playfulness, and humor in the songs, and they have lasting value beyond a couple listens.
