This Oran Etkin / Putumayo Kids Thing Might Just Work Out

Seriously, check out Oran Etkin, whose duet with Charenee Wade on "Little Lamb Jam" is featured on the latest Putumayo Kids disk, Jazz Playground. I don't need much more than a tuba and Dizzy's "Salt Peanuts" to make me happy, and this collection of bits from a recent Jazz Playground Concert Tour concert in Philly has both. Let there be a long, fruitful partnership.

I was at that Philly show - very fun!

So funny, a "Salt Peanuts" reference. I had that same reference in my TONY Kids review of "Jazz Playground", regarding "Gadzooba", but it was cut for length.

This is our first collaboration with Putumayo Kids and I must say I just love the album! Jazz is so accessible to kids as it's the music of the 20th century. There aren't many kids movies without a jazz sound track. It's really gone around the world and this album proves it.
