With his trademark happy hair and spirited band comes Dan Zanes in his first-ever DVD, a concert/video collection of sing along melodies blending rock, folk, and global rhythms into a homespun musical menagerie. Formerly with the Del Fuegos band and riding on the success of seven CDs, Zanes presents All Around the Kitchen! featuring nine musical selections performed live in concert at New York's Knitting Factory. Whether familiar songs such as "Hokey Pokey" and "Polly Wolly Doodle," or lesser known numbers like "Malti," Zanes takes traditional music, winsomely turns it on its head, and adds such diverse instruments as accordion, banjo, upright bass, mandolin, and ukulele. On the program's alternative track, viewers can choose among a half dozen music videos pulsating with kids, street scenes, dancing, singing, and jubilant acoustics. There is "House Party Time," "All Around the Kitchen," and "Hello" as seen on Noggin, as well as "Jump Up" and "Go Down Emmanuel Road" performed on Sesame Street. Zanes' soulful musicians, contagious enthusiasm, and all-inclusive approach to music make this a song-and-dance fest where everyone finds a voice. (All ages) --Lynn Gibson

4 out of 5 stars Great Music DVD for the whole family   September 8, 2008
At first I was disappointed by the video and production quality. But my 1 1/2 year old and my husband and I LOVE the music. Its great folk music that mixes in some Reggae. We love dancing along.


5 out of 5 stars Love It!!   July 18, 2008
My toddler absolutely loves this. He cannot sit still for us at all except watching this video. He dances and claps. The kids in the video are all enthusiastic. Great DVD.


5 out of 5 stars Sophisticated and Fun, Cool and Funky   July 15, 2008
My daughter has loved to watch and listen to Dan Zanes since she was about 12 months old! And I actually watch and listen with her. What I like about Dan Zanes and Friends is how they celebrate childhood. It's not "dumbed down" stuff for kids -- it's sophisticated and fun, cool and funky. My daugther also LOVES the animated videos. She loves the art work. This is not necessarily kids music -- it's FAMILY music.

We heard about Dan Zanes from some friends and I kind of rolled my eyes -- I wasn't going to be that parent playing annoying kids music. This is not that kind of music and not that kind of video. Any parent who wants to foster an appreciation of music should check out this DVD! Any parent who wants to entertain their child for a bit should check out this DVD.



5 out of 5 stars All Around the Kitchen   July 7, 2008
We like this video a lot. It is a live concert taping and has a little different sound then what you see on television. My kids sing and dance in the back of the car and ask for more.


5 out of 5 stars all around the kitchen!   June 8, 2008
The Dan Zanes and Friends' dvd "All Around the Kitchen" is awesome. My 2-year old daughter requests it every morning (and in the afternoons, and in the evenings). She walks up to me or my wife and says "More Dan Zanes, please!" It's a wonderful dvd that's great for the whole family, and not just for the kids. We usually watch it a couple times a day. I hope that Dan Zanes releases another dvd soon!
