New Junior Jam Release!! "Wake Up"
"Wake Up"
The LATEST release from Award Winning Songwriter Jeff Eisenberg. Junior Jam’s latest album “Wake Up” was released in January 2010. This page gives you a sneak peek at what to expect and more importantly what you will hear! Producers and Performers on this album include: The Junior Jam performers -- Jeff Eisenberg, Elayne Kessler and Adrienne Asterita. In addition, listeners will enjoy hearing: 11 year old Roni Caggiano singing lead on Going To The Beach and Sound Like An Animal, 9 year old Sarah Safer singing lead with Roni on Sound Like An Animal, and Mary Fox of the famous girl group, The Shangri-Las, singing the lead on Pickle Palace and Lullaby.

Background:
After a five-year respite, Junior Jam creator Jeff Eisenberg has an inspiring new album that will most certainly have children tapping their toes and dancing to the beat. Plus the album is infused with a show tune enthusiasm that makes the sing-along quality absolutely contagious! Once again Eisenberg worked directly with producer/arranger, Michael Roberts to present an album that captures the imagination of children. In Wake Up the use of live horns including sax, trombone and even the fugal horn create very different sounds for each song. As Eisenberg points out, “Music is a natural driving force in childrens' growth and development. Several of my songs have been inspired by my work in the speech and language therapy setting. To expand on this we have incorporated sign language into our live performances because Junior Jam performer, Elayne Kessler and myself are fluent in sign language and the children love it.”
Some of the featured songs on Wake Up include:
Happy Pants which has the message that we all have the ability to make ourselves feel better with a more positive attitude and outlook. Not just kids, but, all of us. Pickle Palace has a special place in Eisenberg’s heart because it was an original picture story written by a friend, Jim Raines. As Eisenberg points out, “When first hearing the story that Raines wrote for his granddaughters I was moved and inspired to write the song and it just rolled out naturally.” Going To The Beach truly captures the anticipation of going to the beach and how the day will be --- the production on this song is captivating as you hear the unbelievable vocals by 11-year-old Roni Caggiano.
JUNIOR JAM Background:
For 12 years, Jeff Eisenberg’s Junior Jam band has entertained young children, ages 2 to 7, with their lively blend of catchy songs, creative props and engaging personalities.
