Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Have you ever listened to babies' musical performances seriously? Some time ago, London-based improvised music label, LMC had released children's music (with adult improvisations). New York-based Mulatta Records had released children (ages 3 through 7) album, influenced by recordings of the Art Ensemble of Chicago and free jazz. But the artists in this album are all under 18 months old! The pieces on this album are live recordings with no editing. Playing zither, piano, steel pan, toy turntable and computer-controlled pacifier... 10 babies are gathered together from several countries. You will be impressed by their unique sensitivities!"-amorfon
