About the Artist
Since 1965, James Durst has shared his unique repertoire of original and collected songs in some 18+ languages with audiences of all ages in 44 countries and 48 of our United States. He has 6 CDs in current release, including ‘Element of Surprise’, released earlier in 2002; as well as 2 award-winning children's singalong videos.
Album Description
The hourlong 23-song CD is in response to parents’ requests for a travel companion to his two award-winning children’s singalong videos, ‘A Great Day For Singing!’ and ‘Another Great Day For Singing!’ At once entertaining and educational, James employs songs rich in melody and ripe for harmonies to engage children and their families in singing together. Additionally, he uses familiar songs to introduce them to irregular rhythms (‘Itsy-Bitsy 7-Legged Spider’ and ‘Kumbaya In 5’), the sections of the orchestra (‘Old King Cole’), and Spanish (‘Somos El Barco/We Are The Boat’). Ably assisted by upright bassist Ritt Henn, Jamaican percussionist Maroghini and numerous other distinctive musicians, Durst’s arrangements are fresh and fun, breathing new life into songs that are like old friends. Adding humor to the mix, Durst’s "altered egos", Eb & Flo, contribute three duets.
