The first thing preschoolers from Baltimore to Big Sur will recognize about Rebecca Frezza is that she's a TV star--when you're 3, a couple of well-placed, body-rockin' contributions to Noggin's "Jack's Big Music Show" translate as a ticket to the big time--but the first thing music-savvy parents are apt to notice is that she sounds a lot like fellow kids' crooner Laurie Berkner. Frezza, like Berkner, sings sweetly, brightly, and clearly, a crucial combo for the 3- to 6-year-olds she's targeting, and her subjects land on little ears with wit and a knowing wink: "It Wasn't Me" comes from the vantage point of a beleaguered big sister, and the "Can't Let Go Blues" chronicle a shy kid's difficulty letting go of her mother's leg. Where Frezza parts paths with Berkner is in her energy level--she's a little less manic and a shade less loopy (characteristics that lend needed substance to more serious-minded songs like "Won't Let the Rain Keep Fallin'" and "Colors"). Musically, though, both artists scratch kids' rock & roll itch with aplomb: before Frezza and her freewheeling Big Truck Band are through here, they throw everything from Ramones-style punk to Blues Traveler-type harmonica riffs kids way. Tall or small, 3 or 35, it's a mash-up that commands a fist-pumping conga line around the toybox. --Tammy La Gorce

Tall And Small is award-winning independent children's recording artist Rebecca Frezza's third studio CD and is specifically intended to entertain preschool aged children with fourteen brand new songs performed by Rebecca and enhanced by precision backup singers and instrumentalists. Flawlessly recorded, these energetic, entertaining, and thoroughly "kid friendly" tunes include: Happy; Sweet Harmony; I'm A Kid; Can't Let Go Blues; Take A Ride; Show Me!; Tell Me A Story; It Wasn't Me; It Goes...; Daydreamin'; Won't Let The Room Keep Fallin'; Colors; Turning And Turning; and the title piece, Tall And Small. Also very highly recommended for family, daycare, preschool, and community library CD music collections are Rebecca's two earlier collections: Music In My Heart and Road Trip.

This review is from: Tall And Small (Audio CD)

The music of Rebecca Frezza and Big Truck fills our home. Tall and Small is a wonderful CD. Our children and their friends pretend to be rock stars dancing and singing in our living room to this great music! Family favorites are "It Goes", "Take A Ride" and "Tall and Small". My youngest really likes "Daydreamin'" and " Can't Let Go Blues".
This CD should be part of every family's musical collection.
