Review

Here's a great way to introduce kids to jazz. These inspired and swinging nursery rhymes, including "The Farmer in the Dell," "Row Your Boat," and "Mary Had a Little Lamb," are sung by kids and an assortment of jazz players who do everything from scatting and playful phrasing to creating a handful of tasty solos for each piece. As a concept it's great, but the execution is even more exciting, as the kids and the "grownups" act out comic sequences in "Little Lamb" and other songs. Meanwhile, the African-inspired guitar lines, seemingly right out of Senegal, in "Freight Train" and "Eentsy, Weensty Spider" prove to be fluidly melodic and highly imaginative. After hearing this innovative ensemble performing these delectable old children's rhymes, you won't be able to get them out of your head. Besides, when was the last time you heard an album dedicated to--and at times obviously inspired by--"the spirit of Frank Zappa"? That notorious Mother would readily approve. --Martin Keller The Mother Goose Jazz Band reinvents children's songs in the Jazz idiom. From a big band version of "Little Boy Blue Come Blow Your Horn" to a Thelonious Monk-inspired, "This Little Pig Went to Market." Familiar nursery rhymes are given jazz arrangements that young children can easily absorb.
