Jazz and Kids - S02E16

We celebrate the start of a new school year with music for the kid jazzer in all of us and some of the stories behind jazz’s past and present child prodigies. We’ll listen to tons of kid friendly jazz from Ella Fitzgerald and Tony Bennett, get to know the piano jazz legend that made Mister Rogers Neighborhood a more swingin’ place, and talk about some of the great parent-child relationships in jazz. One from the vaults – this episode was produced for Jazz Connections, an earlier version of The New Jazz Archive.    Episode Transcript   Host: Jeff Haas   Music Tony Bennett “Because We’re Kids” Wynton Marsalis Septet “Linus & Lucy”  Jimmy Smith’s “Peter and the Wolf” Lisa Yves And The Young Beboppers “Georgia on My Mind” Ella Fitzgerald “A-Tisket, A-Tasket” Louis Jordan “Ain't Nobody Here but Us Chickens” Raymond Scott “Twilight In Turkey” Ella Fitzgerald “Old McDonald” Tony Bennett “Dat Dere The Muppets “Sax and Violence”  Fred Rogers “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood (Won’t You Be My Neighbor?)” Herbie Hancock “Wiggle Waggle” Herbie Hancock “Fat Mama” Fred Rogers “Let’s Think of Something To Do” Slim Gaillard “Potato Chips” Thelonious Monk “Green Chimneys” Wayne Shorter “Infant Eyes” Bill Evans “Waltz For Debby” Oran Etkin and Charenee Wade “Little Lamb Jam” George Benson “Willow Weep for Me” George Benson “Myna Bird Blues” Miles Davis “E.S.P.” Francesco Cafiso “Piazza” Francesco Cafiso “Pablo” John Coltrane “Naima” Ravi Coltrane and Alice Coltrane “Crescent”   Radio broadcast produced by Lou Blouin and Jeff Haas Radio broadcast audio engineering by Jack Conners and Brock Mormon Podcast audio remastering by Sam Boase-Miller Transcripts by Erik Saras   Theme Song: Jeff Haas Trio & Friends “Giving In”   Visit our website and join us on Facebook   The email address [email protected] is no longer active.
