Music to all our ears

When our kids were young, we were stuck listening to insipid children's music that made us want to scream. Where were Medeski Martin & Wood when we needed them? Their jazzy music can entertain ears of all sizes. "Let's Go Everywhere" is a fun hodgepodge that serves as a gentle alarm clock ("Waking Up") or background music ("Cat Creeps"), tweaks a few classic kids' rhymes ("Pat A Cake"), and helps with bath time ("Pirates Don't Take Baths"). $11.99 at Borders (10-24 School St., Boston. 617-557-7188); $11.88 on sale at Newbury Comics (332 Newbury St., Boston. 617-236-4930). www.littlemonsterrecords.com
