Camille Harris's Baby on the Subway powerfully engages listeners with music of the sort children find irresistible and that parents find entertaining and pleasing to the ear as well. Key to the album's exceptional pull is Ms. Harris's keen awareness of what tickles young listeners' fancies and funny bones, a knack embodied by song after song containing memorable melodies and lyrics loaded with laugh-out-loud wordplay. The album's 14 jazz-flavored tracks incorporate numerous originals from singer-songwriter-pianist Harris plus several classic children's tunes that sound more appealing than they have in ages. These impressive qualities are further bolstered by the exceptional musicianship displayed by Harris and her compatriots throughout. Richly-conceived jazz harmonies and melodies abound amidst standout performances and stellar arrangements, and it is no small treat to see just how hungrily youngsters respond to this musical garden of delights!
