Trapeze Animation Studios Limited, wholly owned subsidiary of Trapeze Media Ltd., is pleased to announce the world broadcast premier of its new TV show Razzberry Jazzberry Jam. The debut episode airs December 23rd at 7am on The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s Kids’ CBC.
Razzberry Jazzberry Jam, or RJJ, is a children’s show for pre-school audiences. It follows a group of instruments who live and perform at “The House of Jam”. Louis the Trumpet, Ella the Piano, Billie the Guitar, R.C. the Double Bass, and Buddy and Krupa the Drums all welcome a guest each week, and each week this new instrument introduces both the band and kids at home to a different music principle and style. Along with entertaining stories, and thanks to the show’s partnership with Yamaha Canada, kids get exposed to actual instruments and professional musicians who help teach them –and their parents- the basics of music.
“The show was born out of a need for authenticity and value in musical education for kids,” says Trapeze Creator Director and Show Creator Mike Kasprow from Trapeze’s Toronto offices. “Music education is being eviscerated from schools across North America and Europe. We wanted to develop a show that was entertaining, but also had a great degree of educational value. We think RJJ is that show”.
With music written and produced by Jon Levine, of The Philosopher Kings’ fame, and with a cast of voice talent drawn from the industry’s vast talent pool, RJJ wasn’t produced just for the screen. “We wanted to create a collection of music that parents wouldn’t be scared to play in the car, on road trips or coming back from the mall” Levine said from his Toronto Studios.
Directed by the Campbell McKinley, Gemini-award-winning Director of Doodlez, Produced by Brian Sharp and Written by Dave Dias, Razzberry Jazzberry Jam brings in great talent to create a vibrant show that entertains and educates kids and parents alike.
The first season of RJJ starts Tuesday December 23rd on Kids CBC at 7am. For further details and air dates visit the official website at www.jointhejam.com
