JAZZ ATTACK!

'SOUNDS OF THE BIG BAND'
a concert for schools
Jazz Attack is an offshoot of the Voice Of The North Jazz Orchestra and features eighteen top musicians from across the north of England. Jazz Attack is directed by Dave Connolly and presents his arrangements of big band classics such as “Skin Deep” and “In The Mood” as well as some of the more familiar themes from TV & film, which many of the children will recognise.
"Dave Brock demonstrates how to empty a trombone slide to the delight of his
colleagues"
As well as performing the pieces the musicians will also give demonstrations of the individual instruments that make up a big band.
Music teachers have for many years used music from TV adverts as a way to introduce classical music to children and this concert will feature big band pieces in a similar way, introducing jazz and big band repertoire.
It is hoped that the concert will give pupils and young musicians an insight into some of the techniques used in today’s music and also encourage many of them to appreciate LIVE music and to also consider learning to play a musical instrument.
