Childhood favorites get the big band treatment on Jazz for Kids by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis. Classics like “Old MacDonald,” “Itsy Bitsy Spider,” and “Pop Goes The Weasel” come to life as never before with swinging, reimagined versions sure to have the whole family bopping along.

Jazz for Kids also features Hoda Kotb of NBC's Today Show delivering a warm rendition of beloved nursery song “Wheels On The Bus,” reworked with a sophisticated arrangement that will delight children and kids at heart alike. Just as it’s never too late to find your inner child, it’s never too early to swing!
