Kind of Blue & Pink (2006)

Culled from two previous records (Lullabies Go Jazz and Cool Mother Goose Suite) from sax player Jon Crosse, Kind of Blue & Pink presents a number of old nursery rhymes and lullabies set to strong jazz arrangements.

Culled from two previous records (Lullabies Go Jazz and Cool Mother Goose Suite) from sax player Jon Crosse, Kind of Blue & Pink presents a number of old nursery rhymes and lullabies set to strong jazz arrangements. While it seems like a basic novelty album for new parents (along the lines of the Mozart Effect albums or Baby Einstein), the arrangements here are surprisingly strong. Crosse did a fine job putting together a set of performers with a classic nightclub sound, creating music that essentially just happens to have kiddie lyrics. The sound is that of a large ensemble in a small club, or alternately, a mid-sized big band. Crosse himself turns in fine performances on a series of saxes, but is also helped by an able rhythm section (Putter Smith or Mel Graves on bass, David Witham on piano, Paul Kreibich on drums). Moreover, he's got star power helping out. Carmen McRae recorded all of the vocals for the original releases, giving it a nice vibe. Also, Freddie Hubbard was enlisted for horn playing in the hotter numbers. The repertoire may be a bit juvenile for most audiences, but the performances are anything but. ~ Adam Greenberg, Rovi Read Less
