Nursery rhymes have never swung as hard as they do on this new recording from the Doug Beavers Rovira Jazz Orchestra. With dynamic arrangements, vocals by Matt Catingub and Linda Harmon, and a top-fight band of San Francisco and Los Angeles-based musicians, this recording will appeal to young and old alike. Jazz Baby! was the brainchild of a Bay Area couple who wanted better music for their new baby that they too could enjoy. Composer/arranger/trombonist Doug Beavers Rovira ran with the idea, taking his band & arrangements into Skywalker Ranch with the multi-Grammy winning engineer Leslie Ann Jones, for a tight and exciting set of music. Doug is a long-time member of Eddie Palmieri's band who's also appeared with Rosemary Clooney, Giovanni Hildago and the Mingus Big Band.

This EP release features the conjunto performing an original trio of arrangements and compositions that introduce harmonic and rhythmic twists in a set that includes a fresh treatment on the Tito Rodriguez rarity “No Sueñes Despierto”, my new original latin jazz composition “Paraíso” and and a white-hot take on a brand new arrangement of Roberto Roena’s “Tu Loco Loco”. 

Paraíso features some of the brightest lights in the Bay Area that have performed with or have been influenced by the “Nuyorican” salsa tradition, including Conjunto Libre alumnus John Calloway on flute, vocalist Carlos Rosario of “La Verdad” and trumpet phenom Mike Olmos.
