This album features both original compositions and creative reimaginings of many classic children's favorites such as 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,' 'Down By The Bay,' 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat' and more. While this is nominally a 'jazz' record, it covers a wide stylistic breadth, including blues, boogie-woogie, rock, and yes, even a little klezmer. Seth Kibel is one of the Mid-Atlantic's premier woodwind specialists, working with some of the best bands in jazz, swing, and more. Wowing audiences on saxophone, clarinet, and flute, Seth has made a name for himself in the Washington/Baltimore region, and beyond. He is the featured performer with The Alexandria Kleztet, Bay Jazz Project, Music Pilgrim Trio, The Natty Beaux, and more.
