Review

This reissue, originally appearing as a Folkways recording in 1970, features noted children's folk singer and educator Ella Jenkins facilitating a 1969 sing and play workshop with children ages 7 to 14. While one might expect Seasons for Singing to be dated, the reverse is true: a timelessness is achieved by virtue of simple melody, lively young voices, and enthusiastic reverie. As the liner notes state, Seasons is a "listen-and-take-part-immediately" record. From an alternate version of "This Train," to the traditional spiritual "All Night, All Day" and Kathy Mullen's "Go, Aquanetta, Go" are sure to rouse spontaneous participation from young listeners. Equally versatile for at home or group play, Seasons practically begs for small instruments such as kazoos, triangles, wood blocks, and bells. --Paige La GroneElla Jenkins thinks that people should sing in every season, and this recording can help us all do just that. Here is a lively sing-along, recorded at a summer program in Chicago, Illinois, in 1969. Enthusiastic children join world-famous performer Ella Jenkins on twelve wonderful songs in a variety of styles, from traditional spirituals to Caribbean, blues, and rock `n' roll. The recording features Ella Jenkin's baritone ukulele, drums, harmonica, guitar, and rhythm sticks. Especially suited for children 3-9 years old, their parents, teachers, and playmates.
