Twinkle Twinkle Jazzy Star CD

The jazz arrangements here are so inventive—my daughter loves how "Itsy Bitsy Spider" swings with a real walking bass line. It's actually fun for me to listen to on car rides, which is a huge bonus.

My toddler usually can't sit still, but the jazz versions of these classic songs actually got her bouncing along and asking for "more music." The arrangements are so fresh that I don't mind hearing "Twinkle Twinkle" on repeat for the tenth time this week.

We’ve been playing this in the car every morning and the jazz takes on nursery rhymes are surprisingly soothing instead of grating. The trumpet and piano arrangements give classics like "Twinkle" a fresh swing that even my husband hums along to. It’s quickly become our go-to for tantrum-free rides.
