A fun, energetic cd for the whole family. This is a cd for children that is jazzy and upbeat with positive lyrics that gets kids to think outside the regular "box" so many other kids music provides. Another great contribution from Lori Henriques! We have 2 teens and 2 six year olds. Our whole family enjoys listening to this cd.

The world of kindie is a many splendored thing. But like any genre of music, kindie (kid’s + indie) has its hits and, more and more lately, its misses. So, what does a maker of music do when we have more pop, rock, and folk music (boy, do we ever) than ever being released in the kindie world?

Enter Lori Henriques.

How Great Can This Day Be, the Portland Oregon pianist and songwriter’s fourth album, introduces your kids to jazz and all its glory. And I’m talking about the fun-­filled jazz — upbeat time changes, big band, rag time, and the like. Not heroin­-fueled “improv-­is­-great­-but­-what-­the-­hell-­was­-that” jazz.

Henriques gets hearts pumping right out of the gate with the title track, a positive note that at the very least will plant a smile on your face and a spring in your step. Make sure you don’t skip over the bossa nova beauty in “Groove”. Listen to this song and tell me you don’t hear an exceptional mix of Gilberto, Getz and Sesame Street.

Immediately following her samba groove is “Beau Paris,” which sounds like a deleted scene from Mary Poppins after the rogue nanny steals the kids away to France. That’s a big compliment, by the way. “I Am Your Friend” makes a strong case for the return of The Electric Company (in its original glory) so that Henriques could sing duets with Tom Lehrer.

Also, and this is something I usually don’t care about, there is the spectacular packaging here. The moment I took this disc out of the mailer I immediately flashed back to flipping though my dad’s albums and recalled stumbling upon his Brubeck vinyl. Moving forward and looking back, that’s the true genius of Lori Henriques’ How Great Can This Day Be.

Of course I might be a little biased (as I'm Lori's brother), but I just have to say how much I LOVED watching this album unfold. Lori would send me late night takes from the studio when a horn player would come in, or when she'd finish new vocal tracks, and I would sit and listen in amazement. So much magic is happening on this album. I'd be spinning it all the time, even if my 3 kids weren't always asking to hear it. Thank you Lori, for dishing out the greatness!!

So Good!! My 7yr old AND 18mth old JAM OUT to this album, start to finish, daily. They love it and so do I. It's not only great exposure to a classic genre of music BUT it keeps them from singing along to that crap on the radio like other kids their age I run into lol. Fantastic stuff.
