Lewis Franco - Lewis Franco - News http://lewisfranco.com/news.html Lewis Franco: News Jannis' PHPRss class - http://www.jannis.to/ Thu, 29 Jul 2010 02:26:02 -0700 We're on a Putumayo compliation! http://lewisfranco.com/news.html#4 Exciting news!  One the songs from our most recent record got included on a Putumayo compilation CD.  It’s called Stomp, Stomp and it was on Swingin’ in Daddyland.  Now it will also be on Jazz Playground, which comes out March 9th on the Putumayo Kids label.  They happened to pick one of the few tunes that I did not actually write (it was written in the 1930’s by The Cats & The Fiddle), so I won’t be able to retire off this.  But I’m psyched anyway.


Here’s some info about the CD, and about a tour that Putumayo has put together, in case you have friends in any of these cities.










Putumayo Kids presents the Jazz Playground Concert Tour


Bebop, swing and all that jazz: cool tunes for global kids! 



On March 9th, Putumayo Kids will release of Jazz Playground, a new collection of international jazz songs for children. From bebop and swing to Latin and African jazz, this multicultural CD celebrates the vibrant diversity and global influence of jazz and will get the whole family grooving! 


 Over the last century, jazz has traveled around the world and influenced musicians in even the most remote corners of the earth.
