Putamayo – 2009<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Over the last century, jazz has traveled around the world and influenced musicians in even the most remote corners of the earth. Jazz Playground <\/em>demonstrates how artists in North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania have adopted jazz and made it their own.<\/p>\n

Featuring a new, colorful storybook-style booklet and glossary- of rivu-sical terms, Jazz Ptayground <\/em>pairs sophisticated sounds with kid-friendly lyrics. “Mary Had a Little Lamb” gets a jazzy new twist in the hands of New York City-based Israeli saxophonist and jazz educator Oran Etkin <\/strong>and Brooklynite Charanee Wade, <\/strong>while American artist Barbara Morrison <\/strong>delivers a smooth and cool version of the British classic “Sing a Song of Sixpence.”<\/p>\n

On “Oyatsu No Jikan,” Japan’s Modern Conya <\/strong>celebrates sharing at snack time and Latin artist Jose Conde <\/strong>offers the irresistible sing-along “Cumbamba.” Gui Tavares <\/strong>brings his Brazilian bossy nova\/jazz <\/em>crossover sound to “Dois Meninos” and Australian bands Kinderjazz <\/strong>and The Mighty Buzzniks <\/strong>infuse their songs with loads of fun and humor from the land down under. Bringing the album back to the original home of jazz, New Orleans-born artists Ingrid Lucia <\/strong>closes with the classic song “This Little Light of Mine.” Jazz Playground <\/em>also features songs by South African-born artist Selloane <\/strong>(featured on Broadway in The Lion King), <\/em>French band Triocephale, <\/strong>acoustic jazz combo Lewis Franco & The Missing Cats, <\/strong>Canadian musician Chris McKhool <\/strong>and Dutch band Trapperdetrap.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A division of Putumayo World Music, <\/strong>Putumayo Kids is committed to introducing children to the world through fun, upbeat collections of music. Putumayo Kids CDs are sold in more than 100 <\/strong>countries around the globe. Other CDs in the Playground <\/em>series include best-sellers World Playground <\/em><\/strong>and Animal Playground. <\/em><\/strong>For more information, visit www.putumayokids.com.<\/p>\n
