I came across a vinyl version of that at a thrift a few years ago, and figured it would be fodder for my kid's Fisher Price player, but after a cleanup And a play I decided to keep it in my collection.View attachment 896079
Our little grand daughter just walked in and called a halt to everything and asked for this CD "now grandad"...she heard it here the last time she was over and even though it's somewhat abstract to the original show tunes, she knows a few Disney songs and wants them over and over...all good by me and Mom Mom..till bed time, as she's 2&1/2

You want an abstract album of Disney tunes, check out the Los Lobos one.

When my kids, who are now in their late teens, were that age, we would play the same 4-5 songs for them right before bedtime, the last of which was always Ella and Louis's take on They Can't Take That Way From Me. A couple years ago my daughter, in high school then, was played a very short snippet of Ella singing and the class was asked if anyone knew who it was. My daughter immediately raised her hand and correctly indentified Ella to to the teacher, who was quite surprised and impressed. Needless to say, Dad was very proud
I'm relatively young for a jazz cat - turned 50 last year. I got my love of music and audio from my father, but it was actually my grandfather who introduced me to jazz. He was a huge Benny Goodman fan. He was much more into Swing than Cool, and while I prefer Cool and Bop, I still love Benny and a lot of other swing.
It's amazing the gift you can give your children and grandchildren If you take the time to listen to music WITH them.
