Not just for babies. We listen to the CD in the car every morning. My wife’s colleagues can’t get enough at work.
This is such a multi-talented family, is there anything they do that doesn’t turn to GOLD!
Thank you, once again for the great music. My grandchildren will wear this CD out in 12 seconds.
The Four Seasons Meet Baby Einstein. Jersey Babys is a wondrous CD, full of dream-like, heavenly soundscapes. It proves that the music of the Four Seasons were built on sturdy melodies and chords which shine, even without the wonderful production and vocal arrangements on the original records. As befits a Gaudio family project, all the songs are by Bob Gaudio.
This music may actually be better appreciated by adults than by babies, because the arrangements are very inventive, keeping the mind actively engaged in the listening experience. And yet the music soothes frayed nerves at the same time.
I love it ! I think all ages will go for this . Frankie always wanted as many instruments as he could put into a song, well he has it now. I’m ordering mine now.
Listen. Dream. Smile.
Go JERSEY BABYS !!
What a wonderful idea and congratulations, Danielle, for making your dream come true ! All generations will listen and love the music and I am a perfect example. I already ordered some CDs since I have baby gifts to give. Of course, I’m still listening to JERSEY BOYS for personal reasons. *wink*

This is an amazing CD. My children are in grade school and absolutely love it! I would highly recommend this as a baby gift! It is soothing, relaxing and fun music - great idea! We love it!
Danielle, Bravo!
What better way than this to turn my young grandson onto the music of the Four Seasons. Gotta have someone to whom to leave my collection, just might be him.
Who would have known that one of those little kids playing in the yard in the background of Saturday’s Father (”Let’s play hide and seek!”) would go on to such success? It’s a great time to be a 4 Seasons fan, although many of us old-timers have known all along the genius of your dad, Bob. Thanks to you and your family for giving us this wonderful music.
Wonderful article about this CD on the JB Blog yesterday! http://jerseyboysblog.com/?p=2560 (The JB Blog comes through with another interesting interview.)
I’ve had the pleasure to listen to this CD…already too many times to count (!) and trust me, the beautiful music here isn’t just for kids.
An endeavor like this needs an accompanying interview of this nature, because a father/daughter/son can’t team up without intriguing folks. I loved reading in the interview about Danielle’s resolve to make this happen, evidenced when she contacted the company who did a children’s CD of Beatles music. (Okay, so the company wasn’t biting, but I have to say…you go girl!!) With this brand of tenacity, Danielle will CREATE clear sailing ahead. Certainly not an easy thing in any business.
The CD & case design by Shannon Gaudio incorporates everything- cleverly implanting fond emotions… the block lettering of JERSEY for Jersey Boys’ fans, the whimsical design of ‘Babys’ with the endearing note cradled in the ‘y’ (no bullsh** letter, as Mary Delgado might say) and the nostalgic lettering used in “Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons for Kids”. Even the sentiments in the liner notes convey a warm, family ambiance including a charming childhood photo of Danielle & Shannon. Danielle used the word ‘perfection’ in the interview when describing the final musical content; but fortunately, perfection describes this project from beginning to end!
Speaking of content, there are finger-snapping moments, as well as sounds that had me picturing figure skaters performing SO gracefully- as if in a dream. Dawn, Ronnie, CTMEOY and Silence is Golden are soothing and hypnotic- perfect for wound-up, little ones at naptime (or wound-up, big ones on the way home after a tough day at work.
Thank you Danielle, “Dad”, Robby, Shannon & others for bringing this infectious and unique instrumental CD to fruition!
Jersey Babys Rock!!!
I was given this CD by a nice co-worker of mine so that I could play it for my daughter. Turns out she loves it and so do I!!! We play it in the car all the time! Thanks for putting out such a great CD - look foward to more!!!
Great CD !! Can’t wait for part 2. I have a greater appreciation for the music of the 4 Seasons. I wish Frankie Valli would redo some of the hits using these arrangements.
Danielle,
Great Cd. What a wonderful idea. Nobody writes like your dad…I had the pleasure to sing back-up for Frankie Valli on “Cry For Me”, “You’re Ready Now” and “The Proud One”.Those were wonderful times. I wish
you the best.

Danielle,
How wonderful to hear these songs as lullabyes. Your Dad wrote the most incredible songs which is evident in the success of Jersey Boys. What a fabulous idea! All of these babies will grow up listening to the songs that were part of our generation. BRAVO!
I had the opportunity to work with your dad as part of a backup singer on a few of his songs….”You’re Ready Now”, :Cry for Me” , and “The Proud One.” I know how proud he must be of you. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…..
Best Wishes,
Bernadette
OH MY GOD IS THIS DARLING !!!! WHAT A GREAT IDEA, IM SO TIRED OF THE CD IN MY BABY’S ROOM, MY 8 YEAR OLD JOSH IS ALREADY ADDICTED TO THEM. NOW IT’S MY ONE YEAR OLDS TURN..THANK -YOU..WE LOVE THE JERSEY BOYS….
Great C.D. I love the music, very soothing for the children. I remember your dad years ago. I met him with all THE Four Seasons. Best wishes to Bob and your children.
Danielle,
Its very exciting that you put this album together and gave us all another wonderful way to listen to our favorite group in a beautiful lullaby dream!!Congrats on your hard work.
Skip and Roy
Danielle, thanks for the links to the interviews. I don’t have XM radio, so this was a real treat. And I echo Dale, that my work colleagues love it too. Please let us know when it enters the Billboard charts.
Great music,
Love those songs, Actually saw the Four Seasons many times at Atlantic City Steel Pier. Keep singing the music.
As a lifetime 4 Season’s fan from the start in 1962, I can echo every positive comment listed in the previous comment blocks. All 5 of my kids were secretly “brainwashed” with the 4 Seasons music as they were growing up and I’ve just purchased 3 more copies for those who now have their own children to begin their “brainwashing” with. What a great and healthy way to be brainwashed !!! Every song has that unique Bob Gaudio touch and a special note of appreciation has to be shared with Robby Robinson for his fantastic work on the keyboard arrangements. Robby does such a great job during the concert tour and this is just more icing on the cake. I hope that this CD is brought to the attention of radio station managers so that it can be shared with a larger audience, especially with the “oldies” stations where the 4 Seasons songs are among the top requests. I also hope that where the “Jersey Boys” productions are venued, like here in Chicago, that copies are made available for purchasing and sharing with the audience. Thanxx again for a great CD and looking forward to more……
The songs are wonderful - another way to listen to one of my favorite groups.
I call your Dad, Gorgeous Gaudio - one handsome guy he is !
Yesterday, I had to babysit for my newest grandaughter Annika, we call her “Annie”. She is 5 months old. Her Mom had to go to Spain on business for three days and her Dad just started his new job and my wife was inundated with her real estate appraisal work, so they all decided that I had to suit up and take on the babysitting for Annie on Tuesday.
I had already purchased my copy of Jersey Babys on Amazon a while back and gave it to my son for Annie.
Yesterday I got to their apartment at 0600 hours and my son Mike breifed me on when I could expect the first assult to take place….And then my son left for work abandoning me to face the on-slaught alone.
He told me if she starts to go bad, just push the play/pause button on the little machine in her room. I then went into the living room to wait it out until she woke up.
Soon, I heard over the intercom in her room those baby noises…nice and gentle at first… then rising to a fierce crescendo. I knew this was the time I had been fearing so much.
I carefully entered her room and pushed the play button on the little machine and all of a sudden beautiful childlike music began playing…. it took only a few seconds before she started quieting down, proving that this is one great CD.
I made it through the day nicely, I won a couple of rounds and lost several others.
At the end of the day as I entered the Post office to mail a letter I noticed that my black shirt looked like someone had splattered me with wall paper paste. Next time I burp her I will make sure that I use something to cover me up.
The moral of this true story is that no Grandpa should ever take on a baby sitting assignment without first making sure that they carry their copy of the Jersey Baby ’s CD with them for protection.
DANIELLE, its a great CD, I play it in my store at least once a day at Yesterdays Treasures in Union NJ. I’m very happy I helped you get the CD in Costco in Union, NJ. It belongs there, where the Seasons have some history and now a street………..Four Seasons Lane in Union is now host to your Jersey Babys CD………….Jim Petrecca
