On the first recording in this series, Shirley Jacobs introduces children to the traditional jazz band. Volume two features pop singer Ronnie Burns with a group of musicians playing in a style familiar to children of the day.

More to explore
Listen to the Band, Vol. 1
It has been apparent for some time that of all the children’s records available, many styles of music have been neglected. That gap is the reason this series was begun.
Listen to the Band, Vol. 2
This children's sing-along follows Volume 1, which featured Shirley Jacobs with a traditional jazz band, continuing the series with familiar songs for young listeners.
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.
