Scenes from Junior Jazz
Vocal Essence School of Singing comprising 25 students ranging from the youngest aged six to young adults aged 16 staged a concert recently.
The school staged a production called Junior Jazz at the Russian Cultural Centre. The audience were thrilled with music spanning many genres including Blues, Jive, Dixieland and everything in between. The audience enjoyed a carefully choreographed show with implacable timing. First they marvelledat musical hits from Oliver Twist, The Lion King and West Side Story. Juniors and seniors impressed greatly with true showmanship and matching themed attire.
After a short interval was a mixture of individual performances and group efforts by both juniors and senior executing hits like Bing Crosby’s Swing on a Star, Bobby Troup’s Route 66 and Dream a Little Dream made famous by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.
