The album provides the stepping stones for both kids to connect with jazz and adults to reconnect with their inner child. This happy collection of songs is ideal for young listeners, as well as the young at heart. The overall musical effect is a sprinkling of stardust that magically brightens your day and helps melt your worries away. Both 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. Sensitive and playful arrangements by Don Thompson (Order of Canada, JUNO Winner) underline the joyful nature of this spirited outing.

Her sweet voice interprets sparkling gems from the Great American Songbook and children's classics from Sesame Street to Walt Disney. A Cheerful Little Earful is the second jazz album for kids by charming real-life singing fairy Diana Panton.
