From the traditional NOLA jazzy flare to soothing lullabies, these latests and greatest collections will leave your kiddos wanting more…music!

Jazzy Ash: Bon Voyage

Known as the first New Orleans Jazz band just for kids, Jazzy Ash is back with another recent release (late last year) Bon Voyage. Upbeat and full of traditional NOLA style, we can’t promise you won’t start craving beignets, but we can guarantee you will dance them off. Jazzy Ash herself, aka Ashli Christoval, brings together original songs with classics, from gypsy jazz to zydeco to the blues.
