I had to share with you all this fabulous CD I purchased for my daughter-- Jazz for Kids: Sing, Clap, Wiggle and Shake! Originally released in the Summer of 2004 it is a compilation of award winning jazz for kids! A hand clapping, can’t keep from dancing, sing-a-long introduction to the jazz masters! It features Ella Fitzgerald singing “Old McDonald”, Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five with a wonderfully entertaining “Ain’t Nobody Here But Us Chickens” and it wraps up with Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World.” Seriously, it does not get any better than this! My daughter giggles with delight and starts slapping her legs to the beat when I put it on in the car! And, what a work out?! We have to move the couch out of the way so as not to have our groove hampered when we play this at home! You can purchase it on Amazon.com but I suggest looking at LandofNod.com… it’s cheaper there and they offer free shipping!
