I’ve got a brand new CD out – Warm for the Winter.
You can read all about it here, and you can check out samples of the tunes or order the CD on Amazon, iTunes, and CD-Baby.
Or you can learn more about it in this brand new Skope interview!
With a whole new collection of great, original songs dedicated to winter fun, it’s a perfect gift for the holidays.
I’ve also got a bunch of new tour dates coming up to showcase my new album, and a new YouTube channel, too!
And hey, I’ve got this new website too… so you’ll be hearing more from me soon!
P.S. We’re still blowing dust out of the vacuum tubes and calibrating the punchcards on the Jeff-o-Matic supercomputer serving up the site. So while we’re still loading up all the data from the magnetic reels, you might find that some pages look weird or are missing.
But you’ll find all my CDs listed here, a bunch of new videos, and links to various sites to sample or download individual songs, or to order the actual CDs and DVDs. There will be more and more stuff added over the coming month, so keep checking back…
Big Jeff Warm for the Winter
Songs of Snow and Celebration for little ones and every ones!
Big Jeff’s music is delightful! He is right on the children’s level and in tune with their thinking and worldview. The lyrics are thoughtful, clever, imaginative, funny, and respectful of children. The music is varied in style. His music doesn’t talk down to children… it is enjoyable for adults and children of all ages. It’s catchy — it stays with you!
For his fifth family CD, Big Jeff has created a cycle of fresh new songs for the frosty holiday season, designed to help everyone stay Warm for the Winter.
Children can watch the snow fall outside while singing along to the title track, or the rocking “Hot Cocoa” or the danceable “Disco in the Snow.” “Sleepy Bears” is a lilting lullaby, perfect for hibernating.
The holiday songs include “8 Candles (plus the Shammes),” a Klezmer-powered Hanukkah number, “Small Flying Reindeer in the Sky,” which inspires young ones to gallop along on Christmas Eve, and “Habari Gani,” translating the universal principles of Kwanzaa from Swahili to English over a driving African beat.
To bring this multi-layered, multi-genre, multi-cultural music to life, Big Jeff enlisted some top-notch talent.
Warm for the Winter was recorded and mixed by Grammy-winning engineer John Seymour, whose credits include U2, Dave Matthews, and Santana.
It features the Chops Horns (Alicia Keys, the Police) and Bob Lynch (Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes) on keyboards.
Jeff’s friendly, melodic singing and guitar playing keep his playful lyrics front and center. It all adds up to a spirited new seasonal offering!
