Explore the jazz legends of the world with Musical Legends interactive, educational program: “Jazz 4 Kids”.
Together, with world renowned jazz musicians and vocalist/educator Lauren Hooker, the ensemble leads the audience through the origins of jazz, beginning the journey with a participatory African “Call and Response” song, Slave Songs and Spirituals and translating it into singing a “Twelve Bar Blues”, a “Swing” tune, and moving and grooving to a Calypso song demonstrating that Jazz influences music around the world.
Children are exposed to jazz legends Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, Mongo Santa Maria and Sonny Rollins while participating in “Jazz Etiquette”, “Trading Fours” and the freedom of improvisational scat singing.
Events for Youth & Families are made possible through generous support from the Estate of Pearl S. Reuillard in memory of her parents Yetta and Louis Schwartz.
