Jazz for Kids - On the RoadOn the Road Cover

Many great songs have been written about the places in America where we live, visit, and learn about. In this album, we will take you to some of these great states through traditional jazz standards, while we pay tribute to some of the places where jazz originated and to one of the great jazz poets and author of On The Road, Jack Kerouac. Join us as we travel Route 66 from Chicago to LA and get away from it all. Let's ride on the A Train up New York's West Side and then go over to New Jersey to do the Jersey Bounce. Then we'll go down South to Georgia, Alabama's Tuxedo Junction, and finally New Orleans, birthplace of Louis Armstrong where we'll hang out on Basin Street and listen to New Orleans style jazz. The Young Beboppers, ages five to sixteen, had a great time singing these songs as did the musicians who played them. As a special added bonus, I have included a second CD, Lisa Yves — Solo On the Road so I could share with you some of my travels from East to West and back again.
—Lisa Yves, Producer

Jazz for Kids - VocaleseVocalese Cover

In continuing my work with kids and Jazz, I have completed this album that celebrates vocalese which is the art of putting lyrics to jazz solos. We sing lyrics by Eddie Jefferson, Jon Hendricks, King Pleasure and me to great solos by saxophonists, Lester Young and Charlie Parker; Pianists Horace Silver and Thelonious Monk; and Trumpet Player, Clifford Brown. The lyrics help us grab onto these great solos and for just a few moments we get to absorb some of the genius of the greatest jazz musicians who ever lived. We also pay tribute to great vocalists Billie Holiday, Carmen McRae and Eddie Jefferson. I have included the lyrics to all the songs on this album so you too can try to sing along and be a part of Jazz for Kids. I have also included a short profile of some of the musicians we sing about. I encourage you to listen to recordings of these musicians. They are the foundation for Jazz for Kids.
