Boys in Years 2, 3 and 4 will wrap up their studies on the music of Adam Hall and the Velvet Players this week after the fabulous performance on Thursday. There have been many highlights as we have gone back in time to a distinct period in history where smooth and soulful sounds were made famous by Afro-American jazz groups. Highlights included: scatting to I Wanna Be Like You, a famous swing jazz song from the 1967 Walt Disney movie The Jungle Book, learning how to rumba around a parachute to I Would Do It Again, an original song by Adam Hall and Tim Forster, improvising extended solos to the popular swing era piece C Jam Blues, composed by the influential Duke Ellington and choreographing dance sequences using sparkly jazz hats to the boogie woogie style song Alright, All Night.
