A Cheerful Little Earful is a Jazz Album for Kids by singer Diana Panton. This is her 6th album at NativeDSD on the 2xHD label.  It is Exclusively Available in Stereo DSD 512 at NativeDSD Music. 

Panton’s sweet voice interprets sparkling gems from the Great American Songbook and children’s classics from Sesame Street to Walt Disney. Sensitive and playful arrangements by Don Thompson (Order of Canada, Juno Winner) underline the joyful nature of this spirited outing.

Both Don Thompson and Reg Schwager (National Jazz Award Winner) were prior members of the George Shearing Quartet and their high quality solos shimmer throughout this recording. The overall musical effect is a sprinkling of stardust that magically brightens your day and helps melt your worries away.

This happy collection of songs is ideal for young listeners, as well as the young at heart. The album provides the stepping stones for both kids to connect with jazz and adults to reconnect with their inner child. This music has the remarkable ability to entice both the jazz beginner and the aficionado. Listen and be prepared to grin from ear to ear!

Diana Panton says “This is a sunny album for kids and the young at heart. Happy music to start your day or the perfect accompaniment to baking an apple pie. Wishing you sweet thoughts and a day full of smiles with this cheerful little earful.”
