Love it!
author: "Morton"
I bought two copies of this CD - one for our niece Anna's first birthday, and one for our future offspring "Morton", coming in February. The music is a lot of fun, and, unlike most CDs for kids, won't drive you nuts. The Boilermaker Jazz Band was a big part of our life in Pittsburgh, and played at our wedding - we want "Morton" to grow up listening to them, even though we now live in California.

Bouncy Jazz Baby a danceable, fun CD
author: The Alaskan Assassin
The Boilermakers have been around for a good bit of time now, and "Jazz Baby" is one of their older albums. It certainly holds its own though. The beats have a hint of upbeat New Orleans Jazz flavor that makes keeps your toe tapping throughout the whole album. The Cajun feel really comes out with their lively covers of "Jambalaya" & "Eh La Bas" which is highlighted by some witty, fun vocal play & smooth horn playing.
Its a collection of popular tunes that the band has ingeniously coverted to a swing beat making us wonder why some of these hadn't been covered ages earlier. "Saints", "Baby Face" & "Ice Cream" all have a danceable, energetic beat, and are by far my favorite of the upbeat covers.
In all, the palpable energy of "Jazz Baby" is sustained through the entire album, even through the mellower songs. If you're looking to take a chance on the Boilermakers, you can't go wrong with this album.
