Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Latin - Difficult

Publisher: Jazz at Lincoln Center

Jazz for Kids is a perfect representation of another timeless adage: "jazz is life." There is seriousness in the fun, and there is joy in the seriousness. Music is at its most powerful when it makes one feel connected with the past, and Jazz for Kids breathes new life into songs we think we’ve known forever. It shows how jazz can elevate even the most minuscule events in life. Jazz for Kids takes simple folk songs and nursery rhymes and turns them into something that you never saw coming.

Elsewhere, the joyful, celebratory samba treatment given to La Cucaracha belies the political weight the song carried during the Mexican Revolution. The song becomes a tribute to that great Johnny Griffin adage, "Jazz is music made by and for people who have chosen to feel good in spite of conditions."
