We Bop!

This new jazz Cd by the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra got my juices flowing! I love the cover, bringing together all of my favorite colors. Here are some details:

Introducing WeBop: A Family Jazz Party, a brand new CD that brings the best of our WeBop classes home to families everywhere. It’s music for little people and the big people who love them to enjoy together—playing, dancing, singing, drumming, and jamming out with whatever you’ve got. 

Led by drummer and dad Matt Wilson, the CD features an all-star, intergenerational band that includes Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra members Marcus Printup and Vincent Gardner, singer and guitarist Doug Wamble, and the legendary percussionist and NEA Jazz Master, Candido Camero playing alongside some very talented kids.

I've added my own color coordinated tribute to the recording-shake it!

China Moses

I discovered China Moses, a fantastic jazz singer this weekend. She has a wonderful voice! Her mother is Dee Dee Bridgewater, another great jazz legend...

Melody Gardot: Baby I'm a Fool

I just picked up her new album and it's fantastic! I saw her at the Montreal Jazz fest last year, she has an amazing voice. You can watch her video in my video bar to the right. Enjoy!
