About this item

From the author of Welcome to the Symphony, this interactive, swing-along picture book for introduces kids ages 4 to 8 to the world of jazz music—with 12 unique sound buttons! Are you ready to swing? Discover the wonders of jazz: How to get in the groove, what it means to play a solo, and the joy of singing along in a call-and-response. In this interactive picture book with 12 different sounds, you’ll hear the instruments of jazz—the rhythm section with its banjo, drums, and tuba, along with the leads, like the clarinet, trumpet, and trombone. You'll also hear singers “scat”, improvising melodies with special syllables like “be-bop” and “doo-we-ah”! Along the way, you’ll learn how this unique African American art form started in New Orleans, and how jazz changed over time as innovative musicians like King Oliver, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Billie Holiday added their own ideas and style to it. Press the buttons to hear the band, the rhythms, and the singer calling out: “OH, WHEN THE SAINTS—oh, when the saints ...” Welcome to Jazz is the second book in music educator Carolyn Sloan’s hugely successful Welcome to ... sound button picture book series that introduces classic musical genres to young readers, that also includes Welcome to the Symphony and Welcome to the Opera.
