Quartet seems to be prioritizing Herrmann at the moment. Intrada has a record of many new Rozsa recordings, and they not only included The Jungle Book in their poll about their next Kickstarter recording, it won a very strong 2nd place (66 votes...13 votes ahead of 3rd place, Herrmann's The Man Who Knew Too Much):

It's even possible that they split Rozsa's votes by including his score to Brute Force in the poll as well (it landed in 6th place with 32 votes). They did allow folks to make three choices each, so it's possible that people used two of those both for Rozsa (the only composer to have more than one option in the poll). But even as a big Goldsmith fan who wants Black Patch/Face of a Fugitive terribly to be the next Intrada Kickstarter project, I must admit the possibility that Rozsa's Jungle Book could have won this (it would only need 10 more votes to win) if the Rozsa vote hadn't been split.

I'm afraid that I do find fault with the singer who does Abu's expanded I Want to Be a Sailor: he's much too facile, too polished, a fugitive from a Disney Broadway extravaganza.
I've been working on "fixing" that. The CD has vocal versions, with chorus, and also some orchestral-only alternates.
Like you, I dislike the Abu vocals, but I enjoy the choruses, so I've been editing the solo vocal parts out and replacing them with the corresponding parts from the orchestral-only alternate, while retaining the chorus parts. So now I have an enjoyable "second alternate" of orchestra with chorus. Just a bit more still to do, but so far it's working seamlessly.
