MR. DAVID'S ALBUMS Jump in the Jumpy House (released 2007) JUMP IN THE JUMPY HOUSE Zooglobble "How to describe Jump in the Jumpy House, the recently-released third CD for kids from San Jose, California-based artist Mr. David?.... How about... "this album sounds like nothing else you've heard all year. Jump in the Jumpy House is another wildly imaginative album from Mr. David. It's got some fun beats and lyrical pictures. Even if the album isn't quite your family's cup of lemonade, though, you have to hand it to Mr. David for indeed stretching the boundaries of what kids music can be. Recommended." Read full review. CD Baby Music Editor, Brand Bush "If Jonathan Richman were to make an album for kids, I imagine it would sound something like this. With a lyrical approach that is sharply stream-of-consciousness and keeps tongue planted firmly in cheek, these songs are bizarrely appealing, unassumingly witty, and never dull. With a loose and jangly (in the best way) approach to songwriting, these tracks are rooted in both new wave pop and the uncompromising ethos of punk. The melodies are sly and catchy, feigning non-existence until they creep into your subconscious and become buried in your head. On the surface, this could be perceived as a fun-time train of non sequiturs, but upon closer inspection, you'll see these songs are as calculated as they are nutty, only straying off track when it makes perfect sense. With a voice that is able to righteously pull off high pitched squeals (the title track) and a passable version of Johnny Cash ("Them Devils"), there's ample variations of wackiness on this one for the kids, and plenty of hummable tunes to keep the grown ups locked in and listening." Bryan Townsend, The Pokey Pup “From the first cool guitar strums and drumbeats of "Crocodiles Are Hungry" all the way through the fun jamming of "Exit Zoo," Mr. David does not disappoint with his latest release Jump In The Jumpy House. It has the excellent production and musicianship that the parents will dig, right along with the fun and quirky tunes that the kids will love. And yes, it's been said before, but this album totally does make me think that this is what a Jonathan Richman/Modern Lovers kids record would sound like. Highly Recommended.” THE GREAT ADVENTURES OF MR. DAVID The Great Adventures of Mr. David, 2006 Fids and Kamily Poll #9 Album for Kids and Families Children’s Music Web Awards, Best Recording for Younger Children 5-8 Zooglobble "The lyrics would just make the album slightly unusual if it weren't paired with a fabulous musical approach. Instrumentally, the album employs, among other things, horns, dulcimer, washboard, and ukelele. It's very Dan Zanes-ian in that regard. . . It's got a sense of wonder and playfulness that will interest kids (and their adults) for a long time. Definitely recommended." Read the full review. Cool Mom Picks "While I found the album stunning and artistic on my own adult level, my six-year-old loved it too and I bet your kids will feel the same." Read the full review. The Lovely Mrs. Davis "His sound on 'Backyard' and 'In the Storm' is very reminiscent of one of the most outstanding Beatles-influenced artists of today, Rufus Wainwright. . . . Great Adventures is a stunning and artistic album." Read the full review. Warren Truiit, Children's Music That Rocks "This is a great one to listen to on your iPod while lounging on the beach with your toes in the sand, or relaxing on the living room couch in the middle of the afternoon with your little ones. Another indie rock masterpiece that kids, grownups, college students ... that everyone will fall more in love with every time they listen to it." Read the full review. Bruce Triggs, It Takes a Village Mr. David's First Album CD Baby Music Editor One of the marks of a great kid's album is when you can't quite tell it's for kids until you look closer. Weaving threads of folk, rock and a carnival, cartoonish nature (without going overboard into the quicksand of kazoos and slide whistles), Mr. David's quirky little songs reach out to kids from a fun and yet sophisticated place. You'll find superb musicianship and creativity here and adult fans of quirky bands like They Might Be Giants will find it easy to identify with the perfect mix of playfulness and just solid, quality music. Brenda Tushaus Mr. David Rocks! Tanja My 15 month old can't stop giggling when he watches me dance around the living room to Mr. David's music! I love the "action" in his songs - they really get you moving! Great style, funky, fun - can't wait for Mr. David's second album! Monica My daughter loves listening and dancing to this CD! She loves reaching for clouds and climbing trees! Thanks for creating such fun and enjoyable music! J. Galvez My kids at home and in my preschool class can't get enough of this creative CD! All of the songs get my kids singing and moving to the music! A must for all families and preschools! Enjoyed the original songs so much, bought copies for my neices and nephews Athena & Zoe With an Ear to children and what they respond to, Mr. David has composed some of the sweetest,heartfelt music available today. Our 2yr.old nephew has already memorized most of the music and has his favorites. When can we expect more? Thanks A Must Have for Children!! CD Baby Mr. David's First Album is playing through my house everyday! The kids just won't put it down. They're dancing to it every chance they get. What a great bunch of songs for kids, and it helps that I can listen and enjoy the music as well.
