Listen to the Band, Volume 1

It has been apparent for some time that of all of the childrens records available, many styles of music have been neglected.

Shirley Jacobs performer

The concept of a series of childrens records devoted to various music styles met with great enthusiasm, and this project was embarked upon.

Volume 1 intoduces the traditional Jazz Band. Some tunes invite actual participation, some carry messages: whilst others intoduce various intruments, but all the tunes are fun and that’s what Jazz is all about.

The Kinderplay All Stars are all working Jazz musicians on the Australian Jazz scene, and the inclusion of Shirley Jacobs (who has been delighting children with her music for many years) makes this album one for which all those involved were very proud to be associated with.

Shirley Jacobs

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.
