14 Happy song Traditional [instrumental] 1:38
The idea of a series of children’s records devoted to various musical styles met with great enthusiasm, and the project was begun.
Volume 1 introduces the traditional jazz band. Some tunes invite participation, some carry messages, and others introduce various instruments, but all of them are fun, and that is what jazz is about.
The Kinderplay All Stars were working jazz musicians on the Australian scene. Shirley Jacobs, who had been delighting children with her music for many years, joins them on an album of which everyone involved was proud.
Artists
Shirley Jacobs
vocals, guitar
Shirley Jacobs (1927-2015), whose records and TV appearances made her one of Australia's best-known guitar-strumming folksingers during the 1970s, embraced the instrument almost by accident. Today, Shirley's voice can still be heard on at least ten albums, on websites devoted to the nation's musical heritage.

Nordic Moods & Baroque Echoes
A collaboration between Duo Langborn/Wendel and The Marais Project, this album blends baroque repertoire, new compositions and arrangements, and folk music from Australia and Sweden.
Where have you been all these years?
Claire Patti (vocal and harp), Louise Godwin (cello) and Tony Gould (piano) join in a warm tribute to musical friendship, bringing fresh interpretive colour to traditional songs they love.
A Baroque Christmas
The music on this CD is a historical Christmas “pick of the pops”, from the late 1400s to the end of the Baroque period. Directed by Douglas Lawrence, the Australian Chamber Choir offers a programme recorded live in concert during their 2019 European tour. The 17 tracks are drawn from lesser-known seasonal works, championing a sublime repertoire that is all too often neglected.
Fika
Fika is the second album from crossover ensemble Elysian Fields: music shaped for the Swedish custom of gathering with friends over coffee, conversation and something sweet to share.
