LINER NOTES

“Ella Jenkins has had a profound influence on today’s children’s performers and recordings,” says Cathy Fink, who produced “cELLAbration! A Tribute to Ella Jenkins” in collaboration with Marcy Marxer. “Every artist was excited to participate in this tribute to the master of children’s music and join together to pass along the important messages Ella Jenkins sings about: traveling the world through music, respect for diversity, friendship, citizenship, wordplay, and of course, the pure joy of music.”




REVIEWS

“Here's a gold standard for children's music -- enjoyment for the whole family in classic Ella Jenkins songs performed by well-known artists. The album takes the listener around the world, from the Swahili "hello" in Red Grammer’s ‘Jambo’ to the Latin rhythms of Mariachi Los Camperos to Mike Stein's violin in ‘Rushing Around Russia.’ The productions are just right with a variety of instrumentation and nothing overdone. It's the equivalent of giving children cardboard boxes or pans and letting them play for hours. What's presented here is musical play at its best. Ella's songs have light that shines through every reinvention.”
- Christine Walker and Dennis Hysom, commonsensemedia.org
