You’ve seen them on ABC Kids, now you can bring along the family to a very special jazzy adventure that is guaranteed to have your little ones moving and grooving.

Stripy-socked singing sensation Lah-Lah and her friends – Mister Saxophone, Squeezy Sneezy the piano accordion, Tom Tom on drums, Buzz the Bandleader and Lola the Dancing Double Bass – will introduce children and their families to the wonderful world of jazz.

The 2017 Best Children’s Album ARIA Award-nominated ensemble has a real passion for music education and they are raising the bar when it comes to music for kids.

Grounded in big band and gypsy-folk swing, their songs are upbeat and joyful, with playful lyrics, carefully planned rhyming and repetition to help young ones engage with a range of instruments, complex rhythms and changes of pace. Come and instil a love of jazz in your youngsters and walk away both entertained and educated!
