Rave reviews!

"Australia's Kinderjazz swings from Latin to blues to funk with childlike glee" --Vivian Fields - Midnight Jazz 

"Kinderjazz push boundaries of genre with 'unbreakable joy'. The Australia-based Kinderjazz symbolize the past and future of the genre, respectful of their swing ancestry but unafraid to play in the sandbox. Before you reject Jazz Kings for praising "children's music," take note that Kinderjazz are not delivering you canned music or covers; these are new songs with the flavors of old, performed with unbreakable joy and impressive technical skill. There should be a sticker on the CD which flatly states, "Contains no cheese."--Al Coleman Jr. - Jazz Kings
