Nicky's Jazz for KidsAnother jazz album aimed at kids... but still worth it even though we've listened to half a dozen of them now. Some of the songs were familiar to the boys but most weren't. They were mostly familiar to us parents though! I hadn't realized the kids hadn't heard "Jeepers Creepers" yet, which is a song I certainly remember singing as a child, so I sure enjoyed having this one on there.
I wouldn't say this is the jazziest jazz album we've listened to but the boys are both loving it. Hearing The King Cole Trio and Ella Fitzgerald makes the album worthwhile to me even if some of the songs seem less than stellar. Tiger is running around singing "Key-mo Kye-mo" to us and Panda, who normally doesn't sing at all, is belting out "The Jungle King" in his best Cab Calloway voice.
This is a definite kid choice even if it's the least inspired of the jazz albums we've tried.
