After the positive reviews of Animal Jazz, the composer was encouraged to write a sequel of pieces that would provide more of a challenge to the player, using diverse key signatures, a wider use of the piano keyboard range and more complex rhythms. Diving into musical genres from around the world I've come up with this colourful and eclectic collection, where you can find influences from blues, jump jive, ragtime, latin, disco, funk and classical music. In Who’s Harry, we’re transported to Africa with an afrobeat groove, reportedly invented by Tony Allen, the Nigerian drummer with Fela Kuti·s band. Jump Jive Jellyfish, as the title suggests, has a lively jump jive feel. The well-known Cuban dance style of Cha-cha-cha is gracefully danced by the Chickens, while our Penguins are enjoying a parade with a ragtime flavour. In Brazil, the Alpacas are holidaying and dancing to a jazz-style samba.
