The new full length album from Children's Musician Mr. Jeff called "Slumberful Slumberful Slumberful." A lullaby instrumental "Dreamy Piano Version" of the Mr. Jeff album "Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful." This solo piano album is perfect for naptime, bedtime or studying! All piano played, recorded, mixed and mastered by Mr. Jeff Klemm. 🪼 💤🪼 Out Now! Beautiful artwork handmade by Jillian Klemm!

As a multi instrumentalist, when I write, It starts in so many different ways. Sometimes the idea is on drums, bass, guitar, or a just a melody in my head. Then I build the rest of the song and production off that foundation. However to really know if the song is good, it must be distilled down to its most basic form to see if it works. That's what I did here. Slowed it down, took out all the studio bells and whistles, left the echoes of words and played it on the piano with two hands. Rhythm, melody, harmony and a whole lot of feel. Since I'm not the best pianist, it took a while to play and this is an imperfect recording. I’m proud of what I made! I'd like to thank my wife Jillian for pushing me to work on this project. It would have gotten done probably next year or never if she hadn't nudged and believed in me! I'll thank my kids too because they've heard the songs a WHOLE BUNCH over the last month with different versions and updated mixes and masters. Fun fact: while I was checking one of the final masters in my (parked) car, I actually fell asleep! So if it works on the creator, it might work for you or your kids! 🪼 💤🪼
