The eternally avuncular Mr. Rogers may be known as the best teacher of the meaning of life outside of church, but he was also a jazzer. This collection of 20 tunes, mixes children-focused sermonettes with rich melodies that both swing and calm. He’s cozy on “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” and is able to tell great stories as on “We Are Elephants” while giving important points on the serious toned “Please Don’t Think It’s Funny” and “Good People Sometimes Do Bad Things”. In an age of anger, its wonderful to hear messages that don’t bristle, but balm.
