#trolleysong

When I was a child my dad used to play a record with a very interesting jazz sound. A combination of drum, piano, double bass set up and alto sax. One of my favorite tracks from Dave Brubeck is Trolley song. This is a moving and very active melody, playful and fun.

When I started building my son playlist, one of my top choices is this jazz piece, not only for the importance to expose your kids to any kind of music sounds and styles, but also create a connection with me and him, similar to the one I build with my dad when we use to play dedicate songs to me from his music collection.

Friend: Did Judy Garland sing the alto part?

Irrelevant person: Who's Judy Garland?
